Keep Loved Ones Informed During Surgery
Relieve the anxiety of patients' friends and family members with text or
e-mail surgical updates sent through MDconnectMe, a cloud-based
technology that can increase patient satisfaction scores and streamline
your communication efforts. Patients scheduled for surgery receive emailed links inviting them to sign up for the service, then enter contact
information for a handful of people. During procedures, non-scrubbed
members of the surgical team send updates to the contact list with a
few clicks of the mouse using drop-down menus containing already-created messages. You can also send pre-op instruction reminders —
including NPO requirements — up to 2 weeks before surgery.
