Doctella provides plastic surgeons with a unique patient and family engagement solution designed to reduce costs, increase satisfaction, and improve clinical efficiency.
- Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) October 09, 2014 - Doctella.com, an online and mobile resource for patients and families to improve patient satisfaction and reduce preventable medical errors and adverse events, announced it will be exhibiting at booth 234 at Plastic Surgery, The Meeting in Chicago, Illinois from October 10-14, 2014.
Better communication and shared decision-making between patients and doctors are key components to providing patient-centered care, easing the complex journey of surgery for patients, preventing medical errors, and increasing patient satisfaction. Improving communication strengthens the relationship between doctors and patients. Research shows that patients who have a good relationship with their healthcare providers receive better care and are happier with their care.
Integrating Doctella into clinical practice is a simple way to increase patient satisfaction and reduce costly complications by using proven concepts. Doctella co-founders include Peter Pronovost MD, PhD, who received a MacArthur genius award for demonstrating the use of checklists in the ICU. Noted surgeon-writer, Atul Gawande wrote: "Pronovost's work has already saved more lives than that of any laboratory scientist in the past decade." Doctella builds upon this foundation and further innovates by bringing checklists directly to patients. In a published study of 2100 surveyed patients, 91% reported feeling that they could prevent medical errors occurring in hospitals, and 98% felt that hospitals should educate patients about preventing errors. With Doctella, plastic surgeons can provide their patients with an easy to use mobile and web solution, containing medical procedure checklists, that enables them to become better partners with their healthcare team and be more satisfied with their care.
Doctella will be demonstrating its patient engagement solution at booth 234. To set up a private demonstration and meeting please contact Pegah Paydar at pegah ( @ ) doctella dot com dot
Doctella's patient checklists can help patients decide whether or not to have surgery in fewer office visits as patients receive the critical information they need to make informed decisions about their care in one setting. Doctella's surgery checklist also provides patients with steps to follow before a medical procedure and assists patients in preparing for their upcoming care. Through efficient utilization of time spent with healthcare providers, Doctella aims to decrease healthcare costs while also improving the patient-doctor relationship and overall patient care.
