Improving emergency room follow-up care

About

As featured in TechCrunch: http://techcrunch.com/2014/07/22/boardrounds-dorm-room-fund/ BoardRounds improves follow-up care for emergency room patients. The ER discharge and follow-up process is broken. Patients are discharged home with written instructions to return if their condition worsens. 80% don’t understand the instructions. Patients are unnecessarily admitted to the hospital, which is >1000% more expensive than outpatient follow-up care. BoardRounds is one-click checkout for the emergency room, with a "no-return" policy. We arrange follow-up appointments, transportation, home care, and more at the point of care in the emergency room. We additionally use predictive analytics to identify interventions that will optimally benefit each patient. We save hospitals and insurance companies money by decreasing avoidable and uncompensated care. Any emergency provider can download our mobile app to access our resources for free.
