Medicity, Inc. Announces
Improved Services Through
the Medicity.com Community Network
Member Communities Now Benefit from Implementation of
New Features and Services
SALT
LAKE CITY, UT — Medicity,
Inc., a healthcare Internet infrastructure company that
provides secure communication networks to link medical
communities, announces the successful implementation of
their latest upgrade to their current member communities
and to 8,000 new users in Arizona. Medicity's new user
interface, improved messaging functionality, and the ability
to post information to partners, enriches the comprehensive
clinical content and powerful communication tools.
"In
response to current member needs, and to accommodate the
rapid growth in Medicity's membership, we have incorporated
new features and design into the Medicity network to maximize
our services," said Brad Overby, Vice President Sales
for Medicity. "Our members now have advanced messaging
functions and better ways to share commonly used documents,
providing one central location for all policies and procedures
accessible at any time from any workstation."
The
new user interface is intuitive and offers improved navigation,
while streamlining processes and eliminating redundancy
often found in manual processes. Additionally, new document
sharing features strengthen communication capabilities,
making it easier for members to share information with
their business partners. Access to and distribution of
clinical procedures, patient consent forms, and other
documents eliminate the risk of a JCAHO accreditation
problem. Key features of Medicity's Document Posting include
version tracking, controlled document access, automated
member notification for document update, keyword indexes
and easy-to-use search capabilities.
"For our organization, Medicity's
document posting feature streamlines information sharing
as all of our policies and procedures reside in one centralized
online location. JCAHO is visiting our hospital in September,
and using Medicity has taken the headache out of providing
easily accessible documents, available online at our staff
members fingertips," said Parvez Erani, Director of Information
Systems at St. Mary Medical Center. "Our physician members
have mentioned that Medicity is the next best thing to
a cup of coffee in their workday."
"This
upgrade represents a significant step forward in our ability
to deliver a communications infrastructure for healthcare
that enables each member to extend their network," said
Carol Owen, Senior Director of Product Management for
Medicity. "A Medicity site differentiates itself from
other solutions by allowing user-defined networks to be
customized for their particular healthcare communities
while providing access to vital clinical services during
the day."
