The app allows patients to access condition-specific information required for discharge. Patient progress is tracked through a checklist that allows patients to note questions as they arise and request time with a nurse for clarification if needed.

Discharge Concierge, which connects to the patient’s electronic medical record via a secure channel, “allows patients to discuss their discharge instructions live with a nurse prior to leaving the hospital to ensure a smooth transition home,” said Dawnn DePalma, the hospital’s patient experience manager and advocate.
