Unite Collaborate Chat

Improving communication between care team members and helping them share the latest patient information necessitates a collaborative care approach utilizing advanced communication tools.

The Unite Collaborate mobile app helps minimize communication deficiencies by providing a platform to effectively bind the care team together, no matter the distance between them. It enables the ability to engage in a care team chat or initiate a direct conversation with a specific team member. This helps prevent needless work interruptions, and gives you the option to send a message rather than interrupt with a phone call. This application also provides secure access to patient demographic information stored in the electronic medical record. This potentially cuts down on time spent gathering or accessing relevant patient information.
