Client Profile
A premier academic medical center operating multiple hospitals across New York City and Long Island. The organization combines advanced clinical care, medical education, and institutional governance while supporting discreet healthcare coordination for board members and senior leadership.
Modernizing a Sensitive and Manual Coordination Workflow
- Executive care requests depended entirely on phone calls with no structured intake or confirmation trail.
- Clinical staff handoffs varied across departments and relied heavily on institutional knowledge.
- Leadership lacked visibility into real-time emergency department capacity before initiating care requests.
- The organization required a completely private solution accessible only to authorized users.
- Healthcare identity and authentication requirements needed to remain secure without creating friction for senior stakeholders.
Secure Mobile Workflow for Executive Care Coordination
We built a secure iOS mobile application that provides designated institutional leadership with a structured and private channel for requesting medical coordination services. The platform enables care requests to reach the appropriate clinical teams immediately, ensuring preparation begins before patient arrival.
The solution digitizes emergency requests, hospitalization workflows, transfers, and callback coordination while maintaining strict privacy and controlled distribution.
