Mobile & tablet use

Working from a phone or tablet, and the app-mode interfaces.

Where to find itMobile
StaffDoctors

The platform is used on phones and tablets as well as desktops. Alongside the responsive main interface there are dedicated app-mode interfaces designed for a phone screen, with their own sign-in, which is what the clinic's mobile app wraps.

What you can do here

  • Use the main platform on a tablet, including drag-to-create booking by touch
  • Use a phone-optimised app interface
  • Sign in on mobile without losing the page you were opening
  • Keep patient tabs while moving around on a small screen

On a tablet

  • The agenda supports touch, so appointments can be created by dragging across the time
  • The classic sidebar layout is often easier on a tablet in landscape, because the module list stays visible
  • Photograph upload works from the tablet's own camera roll, including phone image formats

The phone interfaces

The app-mode interfaces show a compact header and a reduced set of screens, sized for one-handed use. They have their own sign-in pages.

  • Designed for the work that genuinely happens away from a desk: checking the day, looking up a patient, following up a call
  • Sign-in uses the same account as the desktop platform
  • The patient tab bar and the desktop shell are hidden, so the screen is not wasted on navigation

Note

Sign-in is handled so that it works inside a mobile app's embedded browser as well as in a normal one, which is why you land back on the page you were opening.

Good practice on mobile

  • Do not document consultations on a phone — clinical notes deserve a keyboard
  • Use mobile for the agenda, patient lookup, tasks and WhatsApp
  • Sign out on any device that leaves the clinic and is not yours
  • Beware of photographing patients on a personal device; upload to the patient file and delete the local copy

Important

A phone with a live session is a patient database in someone's pocket. Require a device passcode, and tell your administrator immediately if a device is lost.
