Healthagen Introduces Premier Partnership on iTriage Applications With Colorado's Largest Healthcare Provider
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LAKEWOOD, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/06/09 --
Healthagen(TM), a developer of healthcare
information software, today announced its new partnership with Centura
Health, offering a premier listing service for its healthcare facilities in
Colorado available on all of its smart phone iTriage applications,
including iTriage for the iPhone.
With the introduction of this premier level of service, Centura Health,
Colorado's largest healthcare provider, is the first hospital system taking
advantage of the interactive technology which allows consumers to evaluate
their symptoms, learn about the possible causes, find appropriate locations
for treatment, as well as get cost information based on the type of
facility they visit.
"We have a history of seeking out and using the latest technology to
provide valuable resources to people within the communities we serve," said
Gary Campbell, president and chief executive officer, Centura Health. "The
iTriage application is a state-of-the-art application that will benefit our
communities by allowing people to make more informed medical decisions and
connect to needed medical resources when it matters most."
Beyond providing a valuable resource to the healthcare consumer, iTriage
opens up a new medium for healthcare providers to interface with potential
patients and customers at the critical point of illness or injury. Through
the iTriage application, Centura Health will have a direct link to
consumers and are provided a new avenue with which to differentiate from
local competitors.
"With applications for all smart phones, including the iPhone, iTriage
begins where other medical content resources end by providing consumers
with actionable healthcare information, including basic information and
mapping on facilities where they can receive treatment," said Peter Hudson,
M.D., CEO, Healthagen. "We are taking this a step further with the premier
listing service. This service provides more extensive, interactive
information for consumers, as well as offering healthcare facilities a new
channel to reach customers."
With more than more than 67,000 healthcare treatment facilities across the
country, including hospital emergency rooms, urgent care facilities and
pharmacies, iTriage does not rely upon search engine data to provide users
with all types of acute care facility options. Healthagen's proprietary
process provides more accurate healthcare facility and geo-locational
information than conventional search engines to offer better point-of-care
service for consumers as well as more options for healthcare facilities.
iTriage for the iPhone is currently available in the Apple App Store and at
www.iTriageHealth.com from all other smart phone internet browsers.
