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.

Benefits of MBMD
  • Reliable pager-like notifications to the caregivers’ smartphone
  • Securely communicate patient needs while protecting patient information
  • Enables patient safety by reliably and quickly notifying available physicians of patient needs
  • Accessible to all IH caregivers from a variety of internet accessible platforms (Mac, PC, iPhone, Android Phone, Tablet, etc.)
  • Uses existing IH Authentication for Access
  • ADT notifications available according to physician preferences
  • Facilitates direct phone conversations where needed
  • Facilitates users who still require a pager as well
