Epic Canto

This app works ok for what it is supposed to do. Has some frustrating limitations but overall does help with mobile access to the EHR. It does however nag you to turn on alerts and it does this 100% of the time you log into the app…EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. I do not want my iPad to ding with alerts—I don’t want them and won’t turn them on. Please turn off this thoughtless nag; its infuriating.

iPad is too old for ios15 and can’t download most recent version of Canto which is needed to log in to my organization

What a joke of an app. This should essentially be a fully functional way to access EPIC from a mobile device for charting, but it is not. I can’t even attest previously resident notes in an efficient fashion because the standard attestation dot phrases do not work.

This app will only truly be useful when it has the capability of allowing you to finish office visit notes.

A major pitfall is that the user cannot edit notes, depriving the user of a major functionality that would optimize efficiency. How is this possible?

For a week last month i could edit handoffs and write notes with smart phrases, and it was life changing. Now those features have disappeared without explanation. These two features would be absolutely necessary to make haiku more helpful for clinicians. Currently it’s a crippled app.

Everything you might want to do on an iPad is hobbled in this app. How is mobile not a priority still???? Dot phrases don’t work in attestation. Completing all kinds of things like finishing a note forces a “defer to workstation”. Epic hasn’t looked modern in a decade and this app addition fails to resolve that. It’s old bad UI design, poor use ability, with no project focus on what a user might want to do while mobile. There should be no inbox item that has to be left to the desktop. And yet all this does is force back to the desktop over and over again

Very disappointing! One would think that this app would be useful at those times when you are away from a workstation or at a conference and want to pull up a patients notes and edit them on your iPad. Unfortunately that can’t be done. This is basically a glorified iPad version of Haiku with nearly all its limitations. Also as a warning, using it during international conferences will require special permission from your IT department, otherwise it is completely nonfunctional. Another issue is that it works poorly or not at all on Wi-Fi. iPad will need LTE connection or link to a LTE connected device. Given the amount of money our hospital system has poured into EPIC it would be nice for the company to come up with a app that is actually helpful to physicians. The one star reviews are all well earned.

I would love the ability to actually complete notes from this app, but it is just not possible. I hope they are able to upgrade this soon. It has so much potential, but is not there yet. Also, it would be nice to be able to edit problem list and see future appointments.

Has no way to view OR board.
