Summary

Pip Care is developing a personalized, interactive surgical journey platform with a live health coach that works directly with health systems to optimize the perioperative care process. Our Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant platform, Pip, can be integrated into any electronic medical record (EMR), thus alleviating the administrative burden by making operational workflows more efficient. The PIP empowers patients and their families to be more involved in their care by breaking down a patient's healthcare plan into definable, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-complete tasks. Additionally, a health coach completes a health intake to create a personalized perioperative care plan, meets regularly with the patient to encourage goal accomplishment, and facilitates care coordination. This project has 2 phases; Phase I is to assess usability of the Pip Care platform in surgical patients, Phase II is a RCT (Randomized Controlled Trial) to assess surgical clinical outcomes while using Pip compared to standard of care.
