Phrazer revolutionizes the way in which health care providers obtain information from the patient and triage a given situation. Care givers leverage the Phrazer to make sure a repeatable process is carried out to accurately and efficiently capture required information to appropriately treat an individual. This process, carried out in the patient’s native language, delivers an accurate evaluation of the patient’s medical condition, including current symptoms and existing conditions such as diabetes, presence of pregnancy, heart conditions and more. Confirming the accuracy of this standard set of information is critically important to effectively treat a patient and avoid costly and potentially lethal mistakes.
Example: A general health care clinic in the eastern United States processes hundreds of patients every day. The time spent capturing relevant information about the patient’s current state and medical history is the primary bottleneck to throughput and quality care delivery. In addition, miscommunications in the triage process significantly increase the time to treat, decrease the quality of care delivered and potentially cause many more disruptions for the clinic afterwards.
Phrazer enables health care facilities to process patients more quickly and with greater accuracy of the information obtained. While each patient completes the triage process using the device, the results and summary report are automatically uploaded to the EMR system for physician review. In most cases, prior to the patient being brought into the treatment area, a plan to treat has already been developed, with patient approval for each aspect of the treatment plan obtained through Phrazer during the triage process. This has greatly increased the accuracy and quality of care provided to each patient, as well as the efficiency of overall throughput for the healthcare facility.
