"Simple and effective tracking"
Track a Procedure
Start by entering the surgery date and drain removal threshold to create a new procedure record. As part of this process, you’ll also create the first drain associated with the procedure, allowing you to begin tracking output immediately.
Dashboard for tracking
The dashboard provides an overview of the procedure, including the surgery date and drain removal threshold. Below, you’ll see a list of all active drains associated with the procedure, making it easy to monitor output status and manage entries at a glance.
Volume Tracker
Record new drainage entries for all active drains linked to a procedure. Each drain is listed, allowing you to quickly enter output amounts in one streamlined interface without switching between screens.
Add a Drain
Additional drains can be added at any time to support the ongoing recovery process.
Physician Side – Reviewing Data in the Surgical Drain Tracking App
- Log in to your secure physician account.
- Choose a patient to view their current surgical drain tracking records.
- Add new patients as needed, and review any comments or attachments they’ve submitted.
- Review drain data to track fluid output trends and identify possible complications.
Supporting Better Recovery
By replacing paper logs with a smart, secure surgical drain tracking app, DrainData ensures every measurement is recorded accurately, easily accessible, and shared seamlessly between patients and healthcare teams. This approach eliminates the common problems of handwritten JP drain logs and paper drainage charts, which are often incomplete, hard to read, or misplaced.
Our surgical drain tracking app is designed with both patients and physicians in mind. For patients, the process begins by downloading the application from Google Play and creating a secure account. Once set up, a patient can open a procedure, add one or more drains, and begin entering daily drain output data. Information such as volume, color, and notes about changes can be recorded in seconds. Patients can review this data at any time to see their progress, identify trends, and feel more confident about their recovery. When a drain is removed, it can be archived, and the procedure can be closed once healing is complete.
For physicians, the surgical drain tracking app offers a centralized way to review patient data in real time. After logging in, a physician can select a patient, review current and past drain output records, and examine any attached notes or images. This enables doctors to track recovery trends, spot potential complications early, and make timely post-operative care decisions.
By combining accuracy, convenience, and secure data sharing, DrainData’s surgical drain tracking app streamlines communication between patients and healthcare providers. The result is a more efficient recovery process, better monitoring of fluid output, and improved post-surgical care for every patient.
