Drafting Letters Following Rehabilitation Exercises Easier with iPad iOS5

INNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADA - The release by Apple last month of the iOS 5 operating system for iPads makes for better functionality for Mavenlive physical therapy documentation software(http://www.mavenlive.com).

The iOS upgrade resolves a major setback that Mavenlive users experienced when utilizing the pt exercise software (http://www.mavenlive.com/features) on their iPads, said Dr. Jay Winburn, president of Prognition Corp., the makers of Mavenlive.

Mavenlive uses a "rich text editor," which is likened to Microsoft Word, but renders in the Web browser, allowing users to complete tasks including formatting text. That means a user can create bold or italicized font, alter font sizes or make alignment adjustments, just to name some examples, said Chris Metcalfe, Prognition's vice president of technical development.

Before the upgrade, the Mavenlive rich text editor wouldn't render on the iPad, which made it impossible for software users to complete correspondence letters on the iPad, Metcalfe said. They were forced to revert to a traditional computer or laptop to complete their letters. Thanks to the new operating system allowing the editor to render, clinicians can utilize iPads for every documentation and letter-writing need. Now the iPad is an ideal device to use in conjunction with Mavenlive.

"This is news that physiotherapists who use Mavenlive for writing letters and prescribing rehabilitation exercises are excited to learn because it is going to make it quicker and easier for them to generate letters to referring doctors," Metcalfe said. "We've been eager to tell our current users about this improvement, because lots of them work with iPads and have been discouraged that the editor doesn't render."

Mavenlive is a helpful tool when used on an iPad, and iOS 5 makes that statement doubly true now, Winburn said. This current upgrade allows for a more well-rounded user experience for clinicians.

It is also worth noting that for practices with existing billing software (http://www.mavenlive.com/pricing), physical therapy software (http://www.mavenlive.com/blog/) by Prognition Corp. is designed to integrate easily, making it possible to continue using existing software, Metcalfe said
