Care Thread to Demonstrate HIPAA-Compliant Mobile Messaging Solution at HIMSS 2013

MEDIA ADVISORY

WHO: Scott Guelich, MD, CEO and co-founder, and Nick Adams, COO and co-founder of Care Thread, a provider of secure mobile messaging and team-based collaboration solutions that empower healthcare providers to maximize communications and productivity across care teams. Going from Silicon Valley to working in a hospital, Dr. Guelich was struck by the challenges healthcare providers face when communicating and coordinating care. The management team founded Care Thread to give them the tools they need to better serve their patients.

WHAT: Care Thread will demonstrate its HIPAA-compliant mobile messaging solution that provides healthcare providers with real-time patient care coordination tools. In addition to its core messaging solution, Care Thread’s core collaboration tools foster best practices through care team mapping and shared task lists that can be viewed across a patient’s care team. Care Thread’s mobile platform also leverages Nuance’s cloud-based, medical speech recognition technology, allowing clinicians will use their voice to work more efficiently on-the-go and improved accuracy when communicating with other members of a patient’s care team. Care Thread’s platform helps promote improved teamwork, care coordination and patient safety while reducing time to discharge.
