Blastack

Healthcare

Internal communications for hospitals, clinics and health centres

Rotating shifts, procedures that change and staff with no time to open a computer. Blastack puts it in their pocket, with a record of who read it.

What happens today

The four problems that keep coming up

Procedures that change

A change to a procedure has to reach all three shifts the same day, not whenever each person next comes on.

No time for email

A healthcare assistant on the ward doesn't open her email all day. If the channel isn't the phone, there is no channel.

A record that it was read

With clinical or safety information, being able to show that it landed is not optional.

Different sites

What affects one hospital doesn't always affect the rest of the group, and the noise is what makes people stop reading.

Use cases

What it gets used for in Healthcare

  • Procedure change with a read receipt, broken down by shift
  • Urgent notice targeted at one ward
  • Anonymous staff survey, which in this sector is a particularly delicate thing
  • Training material you can open on a phone
  • Directory of who is in charge on each site and each shift

What we don't solve

Blastack is not a clinical system

It doesn't replace the patient record or the nursing handover, and it is not built for exchanging patient data. It is the channel for telling staff what today goes on the staff room noticeboard, in the clinical lead's email and in the ward WhatsApp group.

The procedure change reached all three shifts the same day. With email that took a week.
