Having a loved one in the hospital can be a traumatic experience on many levels. As a patient advocate in the emergency room or hospital, you are responsible for talking to doctors, nurses, technicians, social workers, administrators, care-givers, and other family members to ensure that your loved one gets the necessary care. ER Advocate seeks to assist family members in getting through a very difficult time by recording and organizing information in a easy-to-understand and easy-to-share format.
- Create timelines of different types of events (heart attack, stroke, broken bones, urgent care versus emergency room)
- Record medical events and interactions with hospital personnel quickly with context sensitive icons and menus for common, situationally appropriate information
- Add related media such as voice recordings, video, pictures, and web links to journal entries
- Enter events into a visual timeline
- Receive alerts to possible upcoming events based on timeline
- Visualize trends
- Share event information with friends and family to keep them informed
