This is evident when seeing the decrease in stress related illnesses that occur when caregivers take on too many responsibilities and do not have the tools to properly perform those tasks. File management allows the caregiver to have peace of mind while keeping organized. Communication between caregivers and specialists is more effective and helps to ensure excellent care to the individual.

iPads and Caregiver Management

Apple is highlighting a number of apps catering to individuals with special needs and those that care for them. These apps make it possible for caregivers to manage the records and files needed daily. Medication Administration Records or MAR's as they are often called; are records of the medications given daily, the dose of the medication, how often it is given and when it is administered. These records are vital to the health of individuals with special healthcare needs. There are also applications that can help manage files such as medical records (scanning them and storing them), videos for recording data such as reactions to medication, business card scanners for quick storage of doctors and pharmacies information and vital statistic of the individual.

Finding the right app for your care giving needs is as simple as clicking a button on your iPad. There are many free applications that will help you record, store and share data.
