Take a tour: Review the features used in this guide and where they live in Med App


Step 1 - Communication

Imagine it's your first day at a hospital, anxiety and uncertainty is likely at an all time high. What would ease your concerns to improve your experience?

  • Communicate to clinicians using mobile notifications (Announcement feature)

  • Welcome clinicians to their first day

  • Link any key resources that may be useful like a schedule for the day/week

Help on sending announcements

Example of 1st week of communication

Focus on short communication like a tweet (256 characters), slowly drip feed useful information and link to resources where possible.

Step 2 - O-Week activities and education sessions

Streamline all of your education and reporting through a centralised location. Use Events to easily schedule your online sessions, track attendance and reporting.

  • Automated mobile reminders to clinicians for upcoming events

  • Scanning QR codes to quickly mark attendance - no more manual transcriptions

  • Link your post education session surveys for topic and presenter feedback


Step 3 - Send or schedule surveys

In phase 1 we setup surveys, now it's time to distribute them to clinicians.

You can integrate this tool to link with education & training (events) with automated reminders or simply send via a mobile push notification.

We recommend you setup & send the following surveys:

  • Education - Post education session feedback on topics and presenters

  • Orientation - Understand and track how satisfied clinicians are with your orientation

  • Feedback - Find out what content is missing, enabling clinicians to do their job better and reduce their mistakes
