Outpatient App is fully private and secure – HIPAA compliant, SOC 2 and ISO 27001. It’s a group collaboration environment, but only within a secure, compliant environment.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has been a sea change for everyone. Our fantastic community of customers, caregivers, employees, friends and families are all facing new challenges and major disruptions to how we’ve traditionally lived, worked, and thrived.
Outpatient generally builds software much faster than most other technology developers in the healthcare industry. We’ve heard from our customers that most of their technology partners send out updates to their software annually. We don’t think that’s a recipe for success for our customers, or us.
As a startup, we’ve been able to be extremely responsive to community needs to quickly solve workplace and home-based challenges. We believe our responsiveness to community feedback has been the critical reason we’ve created an indispensable technology product people love to use.

Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JP Morgan announced yesterday that they’re teaming up to take on the challenge of healthcare for their employees, which collectively total 1.2 million. It’s an exciting development as the industry trends toward a model that’s patient- and family-centered.
My 72-year-old mom loves hamburgers. She recently spent a month in the hospital and ate almost one per day, compliments of the hospital kitchen and I assume, Medicare. So after she had sufficiently rehabilitated and recovered from a severely broken ankle, I took her out to a new hamburger restaurant nearby with family.
