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 patients 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.
