The ability for providers to easily communicate – around encounters, procedures, and patients – is vital to operational efficiencies and more importantly, patient safety
Benefits

MedAptus’ Communication Module, part of the mobile Point-of-Care Charge Capture offering for physicians, makes it easy for busy clinician users to send patient-centric messages to one another without exiting out of the application. This is a particularly helpful feature for the inpatient setting, where care team members may have little face time with each other, especially when providing coverage on nights and weekends.
Beyond providing users with a mechanism to manage internal sign-out tasks and resolve any patient questions, the Module also supports messaging with administrative staff in order to discuss any coding questions – from what is appropriate, to the status of any outstanding charges.
