Where Dekona can help

Give the discharge instructions somewhere to land.

01

Everyone sees the new meds

Add the discharge papers once. The new medicines land on one list everyone in the Care Circle can see, each marked with the paper it came from. Anything that looks off is a question for the pharmacist.

02

Each follow-up has a name on it

Put each follow-up on the family calendar with the name of who’s handling it. It stays marked not booked until someone in the Care Circle marks it booked.

03

Questions go to the right person

Not sure about a dose or an instruction? Write the question down once, and whoever talks to the pharmacist or care team next has it in hand. Ask what a paper says and get a plain-English answer. Anything about doses goes to the pharmacist.

What this can look like

The cabinet and the paper disagree

A familiar bottle is on the counter, while the discharge sheet contains a different instruction. You need the care team to clarify, not another guess.

A request sounds like an appointment

“Follow up next week” leaves a call to make, a time to confirm and someone to get there.

The next helper missed the conversation

The person covering the evening was not beside you when the nurse explained the papers.

  • Built in Tampa by a team with 20 years in healthcare technology.
  • No ads. We never sell your family’s information.
  • You decide who in the Care Circle can see what.
  • Cancel anytime.

Before you begin

A few good questions.

Can I start before leaving the hospital?

Yes. Make an account and add a photo or PDF of the discharge papers. You don’t need to connect any records to start.

What if the medicine lists disagree?

New medicines from the discharge papers are added to the list, and the papers stay saved in Dekona. If a dose looks different from what’s at home, bring both to the pharmacist and ask.

Who can see it?

Only people you invite to the Care Circle. Everyone in it sees what you see, nothing more.

Get the first week organized tonight.
