MicrobloggingMD

MicrobloggingMD (MBMD) is our secure messaging and notification system with integrated on-call scheduling. It will improve clinical communications regarding our patients’ needs, notify physicians in a timely and respectful manner, display current physician on-call scheduling, and provide optional notifications to the physicians about inpatient Admission, Discharge, and Transfer (ADT) from all IH facilities.
