Intake Pod · Hospitals & clinics

Vitals and symptoms, before the waiting room.

For emergency departments, urgent care and outpatient clinics, where the queue in front of the desk is the first delay a patient meets.

The first ten minutes

The queue is the first delay.

A patient who walks in is registered, seated, then triaged, and only then seen. The Pod runs the triage at the door, so the physician meets an encounter that is already measured and already written down.

Why here

Built for hospitals and clinics.

  1. 1Triage on arrivalPulse assigns acuity from the vitals and the patient’s answers, before anyone reaches the desk.
  2. 2A chart that starts completeEvery reading comes off a device and every statement is marked as stated, so the record is right from the door.
  3. 3A physician makes the callEvery visit ends on telehealth, where a physician can accept or override the triage.

What it does

Everything it runs, on its own.

The same flow in every model. The enclosure changes with the room it stands in; what happens inside it does not.

  • Autonomous triageAcuity assigned by Pulse from the vitals and the answers, before a clinician is involved
  • Weight, firstOn the integrated scale, because standing still is what the rest of the capture needs
  • Vitals off devicesBlood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation and temperature, measured rather than typed
  • The patient’s own wordsAsked out loud, one question at a time, and only the ones the answers make relevant
  • A physician on telehealthJoining with the vitals, the narrative and the cited draft already in hand
  • Missing readings flaggedA reading that could not be taken stays empty and is counted, never filled with a default
  • One record, door to claimEvery step written once, in order, for the clinicians and the audit that follow
  • Built to ADA requirementsThe approach and the screen alike, so the flow is the same for everyone
  • Beside your EHRIt runs next to the record you already keep, rather than asking you to move
  • Switches and exportsTurn it off at a site or for a clinician, and take the record with you, at any time
Siting

Before a Pod goes in.

  • Floor spaceRoom for the enclosure, and for a patient to step in
  • Power and a networkEnough for the physician’s video, checked on site first
  • Someone nearbyFor when the physician asks for a pair of hands
  • Where it stands in intakeBy the entrance, ahead of registration, where arriving patients already pass
What you will be asked

The questions hospitals and clinics ask.

Does it replace triage nurses?

No. It runs the triage at the door and hands it to a physician, who accepts or overrides it. Your nurses keep the patients who need hands.

Where does the record go?

Into the system you already run, beside the encounter, with every reading marked as measured and every statement marked as stated.

What if a patient is too unwell to use it?

Then they are not the patient it is for. It stands in intake for the ones who would otherwise wait, and your staff see anyone who cannot use it.

What it costs

Quotedleased by the month, against your own sites

Encounters are $25 each, published. A Pod is priced on a call, because siting, how many you need and the term all move it. Nothing is charged until an enclosure is yours.
