Sydney’s St George Hospital has gone live with the myBeepr clinical communication platform, which allows staff to create individual and group chats, conduct role-based messaging, manage tasks and transmit secure clinical photos.
It is now being used by 850 medical staff since being implemented in February with more than 23,000 messages sent and 700 clinical images shared weekly.
The mobile application was developed by colorectal surgeon Vikram Balakrishnan and entrepreneurs Kruti Balakrishnan and Krupa Bhagani in 2016 to improve communication between healthcare professionals.
