Talk where care happens
DMs, group channels and announcements — one place for the whole team.
Private by construction
Encrypted bodies, encrypted files, no PHI ever cached on a device.
Ready for review
An immutable audit trail of every access — built for HIPAA scrutiny.
Everything your team needs
A full messaging workspace — without the compliance gap.
Rounds gives clinical teams the conversation tools they already expect from modern chat, purpose-built so nothing slips outside the agency boundary.
Conversations built for clinical work
Threads, mentions & presence
Keep a topic tidy with threaded replies, pull in a colleague with an @mention, and see typing indicators and who's online live.
Message acknowledgements
Ask the room to confirm they've seen a critical message — and see exactly who has, so nothing important goes unread.
Coordination and control
Private-to-lead escalation
Every channel has a lead. Mark a message visible only to its author and that lead — escalate a concern without a side channel.
Encrypted attachments
Share wound photos, scanned forms and PDFs. Every file is malware-scanned on upload and encrypted at rest.
Directory & notification controls
Browse and join channels from a directory, set a display name, and mute or tune notifications per channel.
Security & compliance
Compliance isn't a feature here. It's the foundation.
Rounds was designed from the first commit for HIPAA-regulated environments. Protected health information stays encrypted, access is recorded, and accounts are locked down by default.
-
End-to-end encrypted bodies
Message content is encrypted — never stored in plain text and never leaving the agency boundary.
-
Immutable audit trail
Every channel view and message access is logged with who, when and from where — the record HIPAA reviews expect.
-
Two-factor authentication
TOTP-based 2FA is required for every account, so a leaked password alone never opens the door.
-
Installable, no PHI on device
Install Rounds as an app on any phone — with nothing left behind on personal devices when staff log out.
Set up in minutes
Bring your team onto Rounds.
Create your agency account, invite your staff, and move clinical conversations off unsecured texting for good.
