Learn about our secure messaging and notification system with integrated on-call scheduling.
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.
The system is reliable and protects patient information, thus allowing for the full disclosure of clinical information amongst caregivers within the health authority inclusive of sharing images and documents.
