Nurse Charting Apps

Apps for ER, ICU, and Med-Surg Nurses

Nurse charting is one of the most paperwork-heavy jobs in healthcare. These apps give ER, ICU, and Med-Surg nurses a faster way to track patients, chart vitals, generate handoff reports, and keep up with the 30+ forms that show up in a typical shift. Local-first, no PHI leaves your device.

Why these apps

Hospital EHR systems are powerful but slow. These apps work alongside them — use them to capture data quickly during your shift, then transcribe to the EHR. Or use them as your primary charting tool if you're in a non-EHR setting. Either way, no subscription, no cloud sync, no PHI exposure.

How to choose the right app

Frequently asked questions

Is this HIPAA compliant?
The apps are local-first, so no PHI leaves your device. This puts them outside the scope of HIPAA (which regulates covered entities and their business associates, not local file storage). That said, check with your facility's compliance team before using any third-party tool at work.
Can I import from my hospital's EHR?
Not directly. The apps are designed to work standalone, capturing data quickly during your shift. You can then transfer key information to your EHR.
