ResQ Medical is an automated solution to accurately record resident work hours without the need to manually enter data. When users enter and exit the hospital with their smartphone in hand, resident work hours are automatically logged without requiring any manual effort. No computer log-in, punch card, or action is required to record work hours. Users simply enter a predetermined location with a smartphone and the hours are logged automatically. ResQ simplifies the lives of residents, administrators and attendings and supports compliance with ACGME guidelines. Residents eliminate the time they spend to manually document their hours and administrators can access the necessary data and reports via the ResQ secure cloud platform. Hospital staff can use ResQ on their existing smartphones. ResQ is battery friendly and is changing the industry standards for work hour collection. WorkTime™ helps teaching hospitals meet duty hour demands while remaining focused on education and patient care. The information collected is never shared with anyone outside of the users institution.
