UofU Health MedPic vs ResQ Medical Usage & Stats

BURN The UofU MedPic App enables providers to easily receive top-of-the-line burn care and consultation for patients with burn and cold injuries from the University of Utah Health Burn Center even hundreds of miles away. The Medpic app gives clinical caregivers a direct line to share and collaborate on burn and wound care from anywhere, anytime. As the only academic specialty burn center in the Mountain West (https://healthcare.utah.edu/burncenter), we’re using the app to reach patients anywhere emergency burn care is needed. The MedPic app for Burn Care is HIPAA compliant and does not store patient images on any device. With the Burn MedPic App physicians can: • Share HIPAA compliant photos of patient burns and wounds. • Receive assistance with patient care from any location or setting. • Consult with a burn expert from an ABA verified Burn Center. PLASTIC SURGERY Providers care for patients with wide range of conditions that may require plastic surgery including wounds, extremity reconstruction, hand conditions, delayed breast reconstruction, Mohs reconstruction, etc. The MedPic Plastic Surgery service offers these providers a convenient and timely method to collaborate with the University of Utah Plastic Surgery team; one of our providers will respond within 1 hour of receiving the photo. Referring providers can also call 801-581-7719. University of Utah Health offers the highest quality care from specialty trained Plastic Surgeons. Besides their high qualifications and training, our surgeons oversee the most complicated cases and have dedicated fields of surgical expertise. We have providers who practice across the Utah Wasatch Front including Farmington, Sugar House, South Jordan, Utah Valley as well as the main University of Utah Hospital and Primary Children’s Hospital. By sending patient photos through the HIPAA compliant app our experts can provide the best treatment options for your patient. This process may even include referral to another provider or service outside of Plastic Surgery. DERMATOLOGY The MedPic Dermatology service is designed to offer providers assistance with transfer and referral decisions. E.g., “Does this patient look like they have a severe dermatologic condition that necessitates transfer?” The MedPic app offers a streamlined process for a HIPAA compliant method of communication unlike sending a text or email. U of U Health dermatologists use the app to more efficiently store and secure patient images. U of U Health dermatology teams use the image app to evaluate serious dermatologic conditions that may require care at a tertiary center. Primary care providers and other physicians are encouraged to use the MePic app to determine if transfer to University of Utah Hospital or Primary Children’s Hospital is appropriate. Burn Disaster is designed for disaster patient receiving providers to use during a burn surge incident which overwhelms local resources within the Western Region Burn Disaster Consortium (WRBDC) coverage area. The app would be utilized secondarily to any existing telemedicine platform. The app will allow non-burn providers to securely share patient photos and information with a burn physician for consultation on patient triage, transfer and referral decisions.
