iTtreatMD’s Patient Encounter app enables a healthcare provider (doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and support staff) to quickly enter, review and graph key patient parameters that are critical to a pending encounter. No longer will it be necessary to page through the EMR or lab result slips to find key values that are needed during a patient visit. In addition the usual pre-visit values like height and weight are captured and the patient’s BMI calculated, charted and graphed. These entries are immediately transferred to the iTreatMD Patient Engagement app. Not only does the provider have the important lab tests results available for review but also the graphed values can be shared directly with the patient in the examining room.
In the past the doctor had to pull the chart from the door of the examining room, quickly page through the chart for the latest lab values and quickly assess their import. Also the doctor might ask the staff – “why is the patient here today”. The iTreatMD Encounter app integrates both those activities. Those precious patient encounter minutes can be focused on the patient and plan of treatment – not clicking through the EMR and looking for the visit reason.
Great medical care is delivered in a variety of practice specific ways. Evidence best practice guidelines provide specific parameters to direct and measure care that provides excellent patient outcomes. The data a healthcare provider requires to deliver that care may be customized within the iTreatMD’s Patient Encounter application.
The iTreatMD Encounter app dramatically improves workflow around the patient encounter. Patients that are seen in the examining room before the doctor arrives can be queried for their entrance complaint, concerns and needs. The answers to those questions appear on the iTreatMD Engagement app immediately and give the healthcare provider a “heads-up” before even entering the room.
The iTreatMD product suite is the result of years of development, clinical experience and customer care knowledge. The founders of iTreatMD have assembled a team of advisers from multiple specialties and have crafted a unique way to present encounter data, vital signs, lab results and practice specific care parameters. By employing an innovative data driven encounter process and leveraging the Apple iPad and iPhone user interface – your workflow will be eased and optimized, not disrupted. Now health care providers have a tool they can use to improve patient care and use the time to actually interact with their patients.
