Phreesia-The Patient Check In Company

Company: Phreesia- www.Phreesia.com

Description: Phreesia aims to provide a portable electronic means for patient registration. The Phressia Pad allows patients to quickly register themselves when coming in for a doctor’s visit (replacing a clip board). Clinics/Hospitals can also customize the registration process for their particular organizational or departmental needs. In addition, Phreesia has also introduced a risk assessment tool that observes symptoms indicated by patients at check-in and compares them to a national data base to raise flags for doctors prior to seeing a patient. Their revenue model is based on advertisements from major pharmaceutical companies during the registration process that are customized to each user’s specific conditions, age, or gender.

Brief Use Case:

Patient Check-In (primary actor is the patient): Patient arrives at doctor’s office. Nurse/Registrar provides patient with Phressia Pad. Patient swipes their health insurance card. Patient answers standard information questions. Patient answers customized health questions to be used in risk assessment. Patient returns Phreesia Pad to registration desk and is placed in queue to be seen by doctor.

Technology Standards: Phreesia is working to be compatible with EHR software platforms at clinic sites on an as needed basis but is not promoting any singular standard themselves. They are however promoting themselves as the standard in patient registration.
