Indianapolis, IN — Diagnotes, Inc., a leader in secure, mobile clinical communication and care coordination, announces the launch and public availability of the Diganotes mobile patient application.

Using Diagnotes on smartphones or tablets, patients and their caregivers can communicate directly with their providers via text, voice message and real-time group video chats. Patients are given login credentials from their healthcare providers who currently use Diagnotes.

“Allowing providers to communicate with patients the same way they communicate with one another is a natural evolution of our inclusive platform,” said Dave Wortman, CEO and co-founder of Diagnotes, Inc. “Adding patients to the platform originated from clients asking for help improving communication with patients following a hospital discharge. Better communication results in smoother transitions of care in the weeks following a hospital stay, and ultimately fewer avoidable readmissions and better adherence to physician orders and medication.”
Research shows that as few as one-third of patients discharged with primary care or specialty appointments scheduled can accurately recall details of their appointments.* Communicating with patients and their caregivers using Diagnotes will improve the transition of care process and ensure the appropriate level of care is being delivered.

STAYHOME IWILL is a healthcare organization currently implementing the use of Diagnotes for patient communication. STAYHOME IWILL is a person-centered medical service devoted to promoting physical, mental, and social well-being.

“Healthcare organizations that recognize the value in helping patients age at home will find ways to blend evidence-based medicine with technology to promote quality of life all through the aging process,” said Murthy Gokula, MD, CMD, founder and Chief Executive Officer of STAYHOME IWILL and a geriatric specialist. “As the structure of healthcare organizations become increasingly complex, it is important to adopt innovative ways to help our patients communicate and connect with their providers more easily. Diagnotes helps us achieve that aim.”

Diagnotes users span the spectrum of healthcare provider organizations, including acute, post-acute, and specialty care organizations. In addition to post-discharge follow-up, patients, caregivers, providers, social workers can use Diagnotes to communicate about:
