Text the Patient's Family Updates from the OR
With the Electronic Access to Surgical Events (EASE) smartphone app, friends and family members stay informed about the progress of their loved one's surgery. Up to 10 registered recipients download the free app to receive encrypted, HIPAA-compliant images, videos and text messages sent by the surgical team that automatically disappear after 45 seconds to eliminate worry about deleting the sensitive information. Nurses send updates from the OR throughout procedures, which the app's developers say increases patient satisfaction and loyalty.
