    What’s wrong with Apple Notes?

    I assume it’s because of HIPAA requirements. The doctor is essentially recording patient information into his private Apple account. Obviously that depends on what info he was putting there. If it was just mundane stuff like scheduling, then it’s probably fine.

      Scheduling would not be fine; under HIPAA “provision of healthcare” is considered PHI, so knowing that person x had their care at a certain time and place would be a problem.
