Imagine being able to follow a loved one’s journey through the emergency room, from the moment they arrive to thier eventual discharge, all from the comfort of your own phone. This is the vision behind a groundbreaking new proposal by Codacons and Codacons medici, aiming to revolutionize the Sicilian healthcare system.
The app, designed to address the chronic staffing shortages plaguing Sicilian hospitals, allows patients to share a unique access code with family and friends.
“The unique code will not be provided to minor patients, to those unable to give informed consent, to those who arrive in code red or to those who are included in specific paths for possible gender violence, thus allowing hospitals to activate the protocols envisaged for these situations,” explain Codacons and codacons Medici.
Through this secure system, authorized individuals can receive live updates on the patient’s status, including their priority color code, the medical services received, and the progress of their treatment.
Beyond transparency, the app offers numerous benefits for both patients and medical staff.According to Codacons and Codacons Medici, ”the app will also offer numerous benefits to both patients and healthcare professionals. On the one hand, it will allow those entering the ward to select who can monitor their stay in the emergency room, avoiding the burden of personally notifying their loved ones. On the other hand, it will reduce physical travel and the time dedicated by healthcare workers to communicating with family members, improving the efficiency of medical care. it will provide updates until 10 the following morning in the event of evening or nighttime discharges, guaranteeing complete and timely facts.”
This innovative solution has the potential to alleviate anxieties for families, streamline healthcare processes, and ultimately improve the patient experience.
