31 Backline by DrFirst Testimonials

“It has been nice to connect with a therapist inside of the hospital instead of spending 30 minutes tracking them down. I have confirmation that someone has seen my message about the patient.”

“Fewer than one in five senior healthcare managers thought that pagers were time-saving devices – most acknowledging that the time wasted playing phone tag was a compromise for the reliability and access supplied by pagers.”

"With Backline, we improved communication across departments."

"The [Backline by DrFirst] mobile communication system identifies important transitions of care—including admission, discharge and transfer events—for all Eskenazi Health Center Healthy Aging Brain Center patients and goes into action to immediately alert the assigned care coordinator.”

"Backline helped increase provider-to-nurse communication and enable quicker responses."

“My staff has not had a device make their lives easier in the 6 years I have been here, until now. With Backline, order notification has been very timely and very efficient. The workflow is just so much better. It saves steps and it saves time. It is so easy, and everyone was able to pick up the workflow within 1 day. It was exactly what we envisioned.”

“Backline improves care coordination between providers and care managers who provide care to the same patient.”

"A large portion of our outpatient population is indigent. Backline has been paramount in helping patients stay on a treatment plan and maintain visits with their providers using Telehealth. Without the use of Backline, many patients wouldn’t be able to attend appointments due to not having transportation."

“Being able to get instant access to patients’ medication history when we need it and then being able to share this and other information with our pharmacist and care team for telehealth and collaboration has been a game-changer for our MICH program. Often, patients can’t communicate the full information about their medications, which is vital information during health visits. We are very proud to offer these services through Backline by DrFirst, which are available at no cost to the county for two years, thanks to a grant by the State of Maryland.”

“Using Diagnotes in the ED for handling hospitalist consult requests was an instant hit. Anyone who wasn't using it was asking when they could start. We love how much easier it is to connect with each other, especially when we're treating a patient with a critically urgent issue.”

"Before [Backline by DrFirst], I could only communicate with one field provider at a time and it usually took multiple calls to resolve an issue. Today I send one message to everyone involved with a patient’s care and it’s done. I save a good hour a day not playing phone tag, and at the end of my shift, I copy my replacement on any ongoing communications so she is automatically aware of the situation.”

"Secure texting is just the tip of the iceberg with Diagnotes. Additional components such as EMR integration and clinical documentation will enhance our operations and patient care even further. We couldn’t be more pleased that we chose to partner with Diagnotes in this endeavor.”

"Our goal is to expand the use of Backline to more patients and physicians to make [virtual] post-op follow-ups easier for everyone and to improve surgical outcomes."

"Clinical communication is improving in several critical areas as use of [Backline by DrFirst] expands. It’s an intuitive platform – we’ve got things on auto-pilot now.”

"I can train anyone to use Diagnotes in six minutes.”
