PIVOT dashboard core capabilities

The PIVOT Dashboard brings together key capabilities to streamline communication and coordination for pediatric IV outpatient therapy. Each capability is designed to improve efficiency, reduce duplication, and enhance collaboration between hospital teams and community partners.

  • General Information – A centralized space where the health team can add important details to share with other team members and the patient/family. While patients and families can view this information, only the health team can make updates, ensuring clarity and consistency.
  • Things to Do – A section for adding key activities that need to be completed by the patient/family or the health team. Tasks and appointments are the main activities, helping to ensure timely follow-ups and coordination of care.
  • Check-Ins Results– Patients and families receive a daily check-in to provide updates on the dressing, central line, and fever. The health team will receive an in-app notification when a check-in is completed and can review the results in real time.
  • Status Updates – A space for the health team to communicate important updates regarding the patient’s care. These updates are only visible to health team members, ensuring secure and professional coordination.
  • Checklist – A structured way to track completed and pending tasks for both clinical teams and families.
  • Resources – A space to share educational materials, discharge instructions, and helpful guides.
  • Messaging – Secure communication between all care team members, reducing delays and improving coordination.
