Devices used for ePCR

[QRScomplex]

What kind of tablets or convertible or laptops do you all use in your services for ePCR? And have you run into issues with specific types? For example using an iPad Pro verses an Android tablet verses a Toughbook?

The Toughpads kind of suck. We're using iPads with an otter box case. Zero issues.

iMotion tablets for us with plug in keyboard.

We use the Toughpads for ePCRs and Toughbooks for MDT/CAD. I haven't had any major issue with the Toughpads. My only complaints are the battery isn't amazing and it is a little on the heavy side.

MDT and ePRF are both Samsung tablets.

Thanks guys. I'm actually really surprised at the diversity of the devices in use. Do you find any issues with keeping them clean? I.e. using Caviwipes?

Currently the state of NH is using ImageTrend elite and it looks like services are using just as diverse devices as you guys mention.

Toughbooks. They're adequate. Not awesome, not horrible.

Toughbooks, the best I have used yet. I have had several different generic laptops and then tried Getacs for a while which were horrible and frustrating beyond belief. Lost way too many charts from those stupid things...

Most of our units have Toughbooks, but my rig just got a new Microsoft Surface tablet for our ePCR. Runs the exact same ePCR program. a lot of guys don't like it, most of the comments I've heard are along the lines is that the new Surface tablets are viewed as more fragile (although they all have a nice thick impact case on them). Truthfully the more I use it, the more it grows on me over the Toughbooks (lighter, easier to carry, the touchscreen is a lot better, can actually use your finger tip unlike the Toughbooks where you need to practically dig into the screen with your fingernail or a pen or whatever)

Ift company I work for uses iPads with knock off otter box cases. They absolutely suck touch screen doesn't work half the time and pcr software is garbage

My last FD job used iPads with various Otterbox style cases (different brands though), and they worked out rather wonderfully I thought. It also helped the ePCR program was extremely user friendly and straight forward. Medic Clipboard from Digital EMS Inc., basically you opened the form and it basically opened what looked like a blank paper run form on the screen, you tap on the section you want to fill out and then it brings up a detailed subscreen that lets you put in what you need to, then when you go back it shows up on the run form just like you wrote out a paper one. Very cleanly and nicely done, no more scrolling through 50 sections or hunting across 20 tabs, it was very user friendly I thought.
