The company serves 3,500 clients, representing 18,000 physicians in over 45 states and has been recognized by the MGMA as its exclusive call center-based communication platform for physician practices, nationwide, through the AdminiServe Partnership Program. Call center services are provided from 6 call center locations, the newest of which is a 130 seat center located in Farmington, Maine. Although NotifyMD solves many unique healthcare organization communication challenges, the Company actively promotes four service offerings that result in Complete Call Cycle Management. Answering Service: NotifyMD provides messaging and wireless notification for physicians ensuring that they are available and accessible to their patients 24x7, 365 days per year. NotifyMD uses a blend of industry leading technology partners and proprietary technology to ensure accurate and relevant text messaging with complete accountability and audit trails. All message activity may be securely retrieved over the Internet and stored electronically by the client. NotifyMD can convert your answering service from a cost center to a revenue producing center, while improving both physician and patient acceptance through professional interactions. Daytime Service: The Daytime Service product is an outsourced call center solution that uses a proprietary ASP task management application, WebMessenger, to divert calls from the practice to a NotifyMD call center for processing messages real time without waits and abandons. Whether implemented as a call over-flow solution or used to manage specific types of calls, messages are electronically routed as tasks to personnel within the physician practice to efficiently manage. The application may be integrated with the practice's EMR application to minimize redundancy or operate on a standalone basis. NotifyMD's Daytime Service requires no hardware or software, provides immediate live voice support for patients, distributes calls according to practice protocols and measures staff productivity. The practice will achieve improved patient satisfaction, decreased call volume and improved revenue by eliminating lost or mismanaged calls. Automated Reminders: Courtesy call delivers appointment reminders and lab test results using a professionally recorded voice to provide accurate and authentic delivery of information to the patient during the evening when patients are available. Results from all calls made are delivered to the practice securely over the Internet. The system saves the practice valuable resource time and improves arrival rates for any sized practice. Patient Care Compliance: NotifyMD develops practice-specific protocols for patient recalls, automating the outbound call process in the evening and directing callers to a call center environment to perform protocol-based care compliance. Depending on the sensitivities of the alerts established, patients that meet certain criteria are redirected to the office using WebMessenger as a communications tool for immediate follow-up resulting in appropriate and proactive patient visits. Patient care compliance programs allow physicians to provide patient-specific disease management, focusing on high-risk patients that require close monitoring. For more information about NotifyMD go to www.notifymd.com or contact Dr. Gary B. Ferguson, President and CEO of NotifyMD at 800-696-0155 ext. 6715. | |
