About this app

The New Innovations mobile app is designed for graduate medical education (GME) Residents and Fellows, and undergraduate medical education (UME) students in today’s clinical learning environment. GME users can utilize Work Hours, Procedure Privileges, Procedure Logging, Evaluations and a QR code scanner for conference attendance tracking. UME users can also access Evaluations and the QR code scanner with more yet to come. Free from the constraint of returning to a desk or workstation, trainees can now engage with the key features of the New Innovations suite anywhere!

Please Note: Most features of New Innovations are accessible and compatible with current mobile web browsers.

The app delivers a secure, persistent log-in that requires users to sign in once, and then only again after 30 days of inactivity. All users must have a valid New Innovations log-in.

Ratings and reviews

It's coming along but there are some fairly significant impediments in daily use. (1) Work logging on the mobile website is still noticeably better with the "punch in" and "punch out" feature. This is particularly nice for those of us accustomed to normal corporate punch in/out routines. (2) The work logging should pre-fill with the expected schedule for the day. Having to manually scroll through a list of 20-30 locations is difficult when at the end of a 14-hour shift, so the expected Location and Activity entries should default based on the current time of day in the schedule. (3) The schedule should be visible, sometimes the .ICA export from the new-innov website breaks down and stops working, so the daily schedule should be visible somewhere in the app. There should also be a widget to put on the home screen with the upcoming schedule. Just some suggestions for improvement. I think with (1) and (2) it would be closer to a 4-star app, maybe 5 depending on how well they are implemented for example with GPS-based location logging. It is very nice that there is finally an app for this very important piece of software that so many of us use on a daily basis. Thank you.

Totally disappointing! I'm the director of graduate medical education at my institution. I was hoping to be able to use this app on the go to review duty hours etc. The app is useless for an administrator and there are no help or tutorial for residents that I can see. Further, there should be a faculty function which would help greatly. Waste of space in my phone sadly

Updated rating from 3/5 to 5/5 because encounter logging issues have been resolved and logging encounters is now quite easy (slowly becoming my go to way of logging right then and there after doing a procedure instead of waiting to get to a computer). Hopefully shift logging can be expanded to include bulk logging and approving of shifts, maybe via a month by month view as mentioned before. Thank you for the continued development of this app!
