Being a medical related outfit they are likely running EPIC for the 
access and such. It will connect to both Windows and Mac browsers but 
requires extra work on the Mac.
Personally I'd opt for one of the convertible windows machines that can 
be used as a laptop or a tablet. That allows the use of easily 
compatible programs as most businesses run windows machines so getting 
answers about problems is easier as well.
