As a pediatric hospitalist, Dr. Michael Pitt is familiar with the importance of making the rounds at a hospital. But within that system, he saw inefficiencies that led to patients and their families being uncertain of when they'd see their doctor next. That meant having to wait potentially hours without knowing when the rounds would take place.
Dr. Pitt asked the question: why can we see where we're at in line for a haircut or a restaurant reservation, but not for hospital rounds? So he and his team created Q-rounds, a software that connects doctors, patients, nurses and families so they know when the doctor will be visiting next. On this week's episode of the Medical Alley Podcast, Dr. Pitt joined our Frank Jaskulke for a conversation about how the platform works and what sort of results the Q-rounds team has seen so far since it was deployed. He also shares what it was like to go from being a doctor to being an entrepreneur and the lessons he learned along the way.Send us a message!
