A Unique Interface – Think of it as Paper 2.0

Logical Ink is an electronic charting solution for healthcare utilizing tablet PC, digital ink and a natural handwriting interface to collect cleaner data more quickly. Our interface is as natural and unrestrictive as paper with the benefits of a digital chart: validation of data at the point of care, no duplicate data entry or scanning, accessibility to patient records, mobility and security.

Quick Overview
Logical Ink integrates seamlessly with all the major clinical systems like Siemens, McKesson, MEDITECH, Eclipsys, Cerner, Epic, etc.  No changes are required to your HIS.  Logical Ink complements your existing HIS/EMR investment by presenting documents on tablets and pre-filling the forms with demographics/clinical data via HL7.  Your clinicians and patients simply complete the chart via the digital pen.  Need to make notes in the margins, annotate a diagram or capture signature? No problem!  Need to capture discrete data like vitals or additional notes?  Let Logical Ink’s handwriting recognition convert your handwriting on the fly.  Each template can be customized to match your enterprise’s workflow.  Logical Ink automatically performs validation checks for out of range values or missing dates/signatures.  Once the form is completed, click Save and the completed chart images are sent to your imaging system for permanent archive.  The captured discrete data can be sent back to your HIS to complete the workflow.  No more paper!

Take the things you like about paper:
• Ease-of-use
• Speed
• Mobility


Now, throw out the things you don’t:
• Lack of security
• Cost
• Heavy burden on archiving and integration with EMR


Still Using Paper?
If you are using paper forms today, you’re facing a number of challenges. Redundant data entry and scanning forms into your EMR is inefficient, costly and error-prone. Often, data that is captured on paper isn’t validated until it is transcribed into the clinical system - long after the patient has left.


On-Ramp to an EMR
Pen and paper is the preferred method of data capture in healthcare. The problem is the paper, not the interface. Paper charts are expensive for storage/archival and difficult to secure. Physicians/nurses are typically frustrated by the “one-size-fits all” template approach to EMRs and find it laborious to learn somebody else’s methodology. Moving to an interface of predefined pick-lists with the keyboard as the primary input is slow and unnatural. Many hospitals/practices switch back to paper after unsuccessfully implementing an EMR because the users cannot perform their jobs effectively. Some can’t afford an expensive EMR or the IT burden it introduces. Furthermore, some EMR templates are more prone to malpractice due to how poorly they document the encounter. If you are feeling constrained trying to adopt a new EMR workflow, you are not alone.
