Patient Trak

Ensure you know the status of your loved one during a surgical experience at AMITA Health hospitals. The AMITA Health Patient Trak (pTrak) is an application that allows family and friends to follow their loved one’s surgical progress, from registration to recovery. Instead of being tied to a surgery waiting room for hours or being limited to the hospital facility by the geographic reach of a restaurant-style pager, now loved ones can use their mobile phones to receive notifications when the patient has moved through various stages of the surgical process, and, most importantly, they can be sure to be on site when the patient has recovered and can have visitors. Even family and friends who are out of state can follow the patient’s physical journey. This technology is available at select hospitals in AMITA Health’s system in a pilot project.
- Real-time Alerts: Alerts are real-time messages sent to whomever the patient chooses throughout the surgical journey.
- Freedom of movement: Distance is not an obstacle; this app eliminates the problem of being tied to a surgery waiting room or to a hospital area or even the hospital campus or town.
- Reassurance: Alerts keep loved ones apprised of the patient’s journey.
- Reunited: Alerts allow loved ones to ensure they are present when the patient has recovered from surgery and is ready for visitors.
