Download WellSpan's mobile app today
You just cut your finger while preparing a salad. You need to know which WellSpan facility can stitch your finger. There’s an app for that. Okay, ReadyCare. How many people are already waiting? There’s an app for that. Good, only two.
Now you need directions. Yes, there’s an app for that too. All of these features and many more are part of WellSpan Health’s new mobile app.
“The WellSpan Mobile App is well above average for a health care system,” says Hal Baker, M.D., vice president and chief information officer. “I would put the app our team has produced up against any other health care organization’s app in the country.”
This new app provides you with easy, quick access to a number of features. You can find a facility, link to maps and get stepby-step directions. The app enables you to view pictures of newborns at both hospitals and watch WellSpan videos.
You can also check out the latest career opportunities or WellSpan news. With the WellSpan app you can even send eGreetings to hospital patients.
The WellSpan Mobile App is available to download from the Apple App Store, the Android Market and Windows Phone Marketplace.
Baker added there will be small upgrades and tweaks as the app is constantly improved. “We absolutely have aspirations to continually increase the functionality of the app. We want users to be able to access more information and increase their ability to interact with WellSpan.”
One of the next “tweaks” made will be adding the ability to request prescription refills through the WellSpan Mobile App. Any new upgrades will be automatically uploaded to any phone with the app.
A development team comprised of individuals from Enterprise Integration and eHealth worked with WellSpan’s Public Relations and Communications Department to ensure that the finished product supports WellSpan’s online strategy to connect with patients and other members of its communities.
Downloading the WellSpan Mobile App, along with “liking” us on Facebook and “following” us on Twitter are great ways to engage and interact with each other and those we serve.
Remember when you “like” us or “follow” us, you will be entered into a weekly prize drawing. Prizes will change each week and will include items such as gift certificates, movie tickets and other surprises. The sooner you “like” and “follow” us, the more opportunities you’ll have to win.
