KwikMed's Online Patient Diagnosis Endorsed as a Safe and Confidential Alternative by Mayo Clinic Proceedings Article
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 22 / MARKET WIRE/ --
This week at the Health 2.0 Conference in
San Francisco, KwikMed CEO Peter Ax will be speaking on the Pharmacy &
Medication Management breakout panel about the shift of healthcare to the
online space and a new model for more convenient and effective patient
care. According to an Aug. 1, 2008 Mayo Clinic Proceedings article,
KwikMed's healthcare model is safer than traditional medicine as it
pertains to conditions that can be treated without the need for an
in-person doctor visit. As the only online healthcare service granted
regulatory approval to prescribe and deliver FDA-approved medications,
KwikMed (www.kwikmed.com) is an agent of change creating new channels for
healthcare delivery and increasing patient options and privacy.
An estimated 20 percent of all physician office visits are unnecessary
because certain ailments do not need to be diagnosed or treated in person,
according to the Mayo Clinic Proceedings article. KwikMed addresses this
problem by conducting an extensive, interactive, online assessment for each
patient seeking treatment, which is often far more thorough than a
traditional face-to-face consultation conducted by a doctor.
On the heels of this research, KwikMed today announces a new Web site aimed
at better serving consumers who want a convenient way to handle certain
sensitive health issues privately. The Web site offers consumers a more
informative and user-friendly way to obtain legitimate, safe and
confidential healthcare and FDA-approved prescription drugs to treat
erectile dysfunction, hair loss, and smoking addiction.
"Patients can rely on KwikMed because it protects their privacy and they
can take a more active role in their healthcare without the hassle of
scheduling and driving to the doctor's office," said KwikMed CEO Peter Ax.
"KwikMed is a safe, proven healthcare channel that expands patient options
and empowers consumers to take control of their personal health."
At KwikMed, patients can be assured they are purchasing authentic, safe and
properly manufactured medicines in the United States. The company is
regulated by the Utah State Department of Occupational and Professional
Licensing and other governing bodies and its transparency of operations
offers extraordinary visibility into the quality of patient care.
"The Internet is quickly becoming an important platform for healthcare
communications," said Dr. Mark Munger of the University of Utah. "The
online delivery of healthcare is in high demand as it empowers patients to
make important decisions about their health."
New Web Site Gives Consumers a Safe and Convenient Service:
-- Unique Diagnostic Medical Assessment Software -- A detailed patient
medical history which is reviewed by KwikMed physicians and
pharmacists, producing a comprehensive patient history file.
-- Convenient Navigation -- The ability to easily register and place
prescription orders, and to learn about new FDA-approved medications
available on KwikMed by way of a convenient and resourceful layout.
-- Patients can take advantage of secure email to correspond with
their KwikMed physician.
-- Patients can track their medicine purchases using their KwikMed
account.
-- Patients establish an electronic medical record on KwikMed
which can be forwarded to their personal physician.

outlined for users on the KwikMed home page:

2. Register if you are a new customer, or login
3. Complete the free online consultation
