Company Summary

Most hospitals rely on pen and paper documentation of emergency medical events. This reliance on paper charting leads to missing and lost data, costly HIPAA violations, lower patient satisfaction, increased staffing costs, difficult transitions of care and high litigation risk. Format Health's EventDoc platform is designed for rapid, intuitive documentation and quality improvement of emergency medical care across a variety of situations.
