Future Clinic Doctors is the provider app for physicians who practice on FutureClinic, a platform built around ongoing doctor–patient relationships delivered through secure, asynchronous chat. - Review encounters with the patient-confirmed summary, full chat transcript, highlights from the medical record, and attached photos, so you have context without digging through threads elsewhere. - Request more information when something is missing, with a clear path for patients to respond. - Prescribe and manage common prescribing tasks in a mobile-native flow - Order labs and follow the patient-side steps that complete the order (patients confirm details and collection options in their app). - Build and send your plan: assessments, prescriptions, patient-facing explanations, and workflows aligned with how FutureClinic delivers care. - Human signature™: record a short live video or audio clip to add a personal, accountable touch when it helps patients trust the plan. Important: - For licensed healthcare providers using an active FutureClinic provider account. - Not for emergencies. If someone may be having an emergency, they should use emergency services. - Care on FutureClinic is asynchronous; this app supports that model (not a replacement for in-person or live video care when those are indicated). Privacy: We take privacy and security seriously and design these tools for use in a HIPAA-aware healthcare environment.
