SignOut

SignOut’s mission is to eliminate the archaic word documents, excel spreadsheets, and EMR printouts that clinical teams have been using to manage their patient lists. Checkboxes on paper can only help the person who wrote it, and checkboxes help no one when that paper goes missing.

Use SignOut instead and enjoy a beautifully designed app that lets you create a patient census for your team, add patients, create and assign to-do tasks, and message and share updates with your colleagues all from the comfort of your phone. With all information stored on our secure cloud servers, you’ll never freak out when you lose that sheet of paper. Even better, with all patient to-dos organized on a searchable list, signing out at the end of your shift is super easy.

Oh, and if you still really want to write on paper, we have a printout too.

Washington Hospital Center (WHC) is a 926-bed Trauma Level I academic medical center serving the Washington DC metropolitan area. It is the largest hospital in the 10-hospital, $4.6 billion MedStar network and the largest trauma center in the DC metro area. SignOut is the IT solution for WHC’s pilot Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program, which aims to standardize perioperative care measures and reduce costs and length of stay, both of which have been outcomes of similar programs instituted at other prominent academic centers.
