CureMD Enhances Doctor Patient Collaboration Through its New Patient Portal

New York, NY (April 17, 2007) - CureMD, the leader in Internet-based health information technology, announced today the launch of its new Patient Portal. A truly web-based solution, CurePatient Portal presents an efficient and effective solution for providing personally relevant information to patients when they need it the most. By creating a direct link between physicians, patients and referring providers, the portal delivers vital care information directly to the patients’ desktop to help ensure maximum patient satisfaction and eliminate preventable errors.

Through the portal, patients have unprecedented access to personalized information; communication and care management tools that help them better understand their conditions and comply with treatment plans. The self-service model eliminates the need for patients to call the provider’s office. The portal helps improve the quality of care, build patient loyalty and optimize practice operations. From scheduling appointments to requesting refills, viewing lab results and accessing educational information, providers and patients can access their personal health records from the convenience of their homes.

CurePatient Portal also enables providers to collaborate with referring and consulting physicians in real-time, by allowing them to share healthcare information in a highly secure, encrypted and HIPAA compliant environment. The portal is fully integrated with the CureMD platform, including EMR and Practice Management system to deliver up-to-minute information.
