- Customizable patient-facing and staff-facing assessments and eSignature capture to expedite reimbursement.
- Outcomes tracking and important data collection that adds value for hospital members and future referral partners.

We look forward to leveraging the Citus platform to help us improve company operations, patient communication, care, and safety.”
