App Allows Users To Check Into ER Before Arriving

In response to the growing number of smartphone users, SwedishAmerican Hospital has partnered with iTriage -- a one-stop healthcare app that lets consumers quickly and easily access information about symptoms, diseases and procedures, and even alert hospital staff of an impending arrival. 

Dr. John Underwood, Medical Director, Department of Emergency Medicine says, "Launching the ER Check-In feature with iTriage offers a convenience to our patients and allows staff to prepare in advance for their visit."

iTriage users can also learn about possible causes and treatment options, get medication refill and appointment reminders added to personal calendars and access a nationwide database of every medical provider in the country.

iTriage is available as a free download from app stores for iPhone and Android mobile devices, and is accessible from any Internet-enabled device at www.iTriageHealth.com.
