Companion app

The EDFlow staff companion app on hospital-managed phones: request inbox, my patients, patient card, department, on-shift status, scanning a visit card, and push notifications while on shift.

The companion app puts your request inbox and your patients in your pocket. It runs only on hospital-managed phones, in staff mode of the same app patients use. It calls the same functions as the console, with the same permissions and audit.

Me

Your on-shift status (from zone assignments, with a manual override) and zone, notification settings, biometric lock, switch site, sign out. Going off shift removes you from routing and push within seconds.

Scanning a visit card

Tap Scan and point the camera at a patient's card. In staff mode the app never signs in as the patient: it opens that patient's card for you, if you're allowed to see patients at that site, and records the access. A card from another site shows "This card is for another hospital."

Push notifications

You get push only while you're on shift. Payloads never contain patient details:

"Urgent request · Zone B", "Request escalated · Zone A", "Urgent request · Patient OUTSIDE the department"
"Results back · Zone A" (physicians who opt in)
"Code called" (off by default, since you hear the overhead page)
"EHR feed down" (integration roles)

Urgent requests use the time-sensitive level on iPhone and a high-importance channel on Android. From the lock screen, the only action for an urgent request is Can't go, and it needs Face ID, fingerprint or your passcode. Acknowledging a non-urgent request from the lock screen also needs device authentication.

Security

Staff mode needs a phone passcode and a hospital-managed device.
After 5 minutes in the background, the app asks for Face ID, fingerprint or the passcode.
Sessions end after 12 hours, or when your manager signs you out.
