TRUE NORTH HEALTHCARE

TrueNorth Healthcare wants to change the world of end-of-life care through its two-sided cloud based platform that makes getting started with advance medical planning easy. As doctors, medical students and hospice counselors, we know first-hand that important information about the kind of care you want is not available when needed. This leads to bad care and burdens on loved ones. Moreover, the mean inpatient charge for patients without directives was more than three times higher than for those ... who had directives, and patient and family satisfaction increased when documents were accessible. TrueNorth focuses on the the most important part of planning - picking your Advocate, the person who will make important healthcare decisions for you if your are not able to (also known as a Healthcare Proxy, Agent or Durable Power of Attorney). On one side of the platform, users can easily create and electronically sign this important form - no more papers that get lost or tampered with. Users can then share this information with loved ones electronically via email or create special care networks through our Facebook app. On the other side of the TrueNorth platform, this critical information is made accessible through integration with electronic medical record platforms so that it can be made available where and when it's needed - in the hospital, in the emergency room, in your doctors' hands. Who we are sets us apart. Our team draws on real-life experience and we are part of a community of care providers and patient advocates that understand the problem and can build a sustainable solution. TrueNorth's mission is to change the world of end-of-life care. We won't stop until we do.More
