Canto Mobile Application for iPad

Canto is the mobile solution for accessing the ECUP EHR from a tablet. With Canto, you can access

patient charts, review your schedule, review patient results, graph the results, review Care Everywhere

documents, viewing and working in your InBasket, and taking and uploading clinical photographs

directly to the patient’s chart.

Canto can be downloaded and installed on your device from the App Store on Apple devices.

Configuring Your Device

If you are trying to configure your device for use with Canto while on an ECU network, you must be

connected to the Buccaneer network. Because the Pirate network is an open, unsecured network, data

would not be completely secure, therefore, ECU has blocked Canto access through Pirate.

To configure your device:

1. On your device, navigate to Settings and choose Canto.

2. Fill out the following settings:

a. HTTPS: ON

b. Server: canto.vidanthealth.com

c. Path: Mobile

Logging In

After configuring your device you are ready to begin using Canto.

1. Tap the Canto icon on your device.

2. Log in with your usual EHR login ID and password.

3. The default login department that you will log in to will

always be the last department you logged into on the

Desktop EHR.

The Dashboard

Upon logging in to Canto the user will be on the Dashboard. From here the user can open patient

charts, view his schedule, and open InBasket folders. At the bottom of the dashboard, it shows who is

logged in and which department they are logged in to.

Open a Patient Chart

To open a patient’s chart, simply tap the patient’s name. A patient summary screen displays. At the

bottom of the summary screen there are activity tabs. Each tab takes you to a specific activity. From

these activities tabs a user can access past encounters, results, notes, Care Everywhere documents and

a Links page.

Taking Clinical Photos

When it is beneficial to take a photo of a patient, Canto enables the user to do so and easily upload the

photo directly into the patient’s chart. To take a clinical photo of the patient,

Tap the patient’s photo in the header.

From the drop down menu that displays, select Take Clinical Image.

Canto will use your device’s camera to take the photo.

Once you have the photo you need, tap Use Photo.

Enter a Document Type and a Description for the photo and tap Save.

The photo is uploaded directly to the patient’s chart and can be found under the Media tab in

Chart Review.
