CloserMD is structured, secure clinical charting built for physicians on rounds — in the hospital, the clinic, and skilled-nursing and post-acute facilities. Open the app, see your patient list, and write a complete progress note in a fraction of the usual time: • Patient context, up front — a Storyboard-style header surfaces allergies, the last visit, and abnormal labs before you start writing. • The care team, folded in — CloserMD reads the recent consult, nurse-practitioner, and therapy notes and surfaces their diagnoses and plan recommendations, grouped by specialty, as one-tap items. • Problem-oriented assessment & plan — carry chronic problems forward, add today's, each with its own plan; evidence-based prompts (deprescribing, antimicrobial stewardship) where they help. • Dictate or type — built-in medical dictation turns speech into structured note text. • Review and sign — you review, edit, and sign every note. CloserMD drafts; the physician decides. Built for the way you actually round: • Connects to your EMR so the finished note lands in the chart. • Face ID / passcode app lock. • Two-step sign-in with emailed one-time codes. Security & privacy: CloserMD is built for HIPAA-regulated clinical use, with data encrypted in transit and at rest. CloserMD is a documentation tool — it does not diagnose or make clinical decisions; the physician reviews and signs every note. Who it's for: Licensed physicians and advanced-practice providers who round — hospitalists, internists, and clinicians across hospital, skilled-nursing, long-term care, and post-acute settings. Membership: CloserMD is a professional subscription, started at closermd.com. The app is free to download; sign in with your CloserMD account to chart. Questions? support@closermd.com
