Patient satisfaction with the app was high, with 92% of patients reporting overall satisfaction as good or excellent. The 30-day readmission rate was 6% and was lower than the 30-day readmission rate of 18% reported for the 4 months prior to the start of the study.
"It's a little bit intimidating, right? To develop and implement an app... but ²ÝÝ®ÉçÇø really made it a lot of fun... It was absolutely fantastic... I have nothing but good things to say."
