PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25, 2008 — MED3OOO, Inc., a national healthcare management and technology company, and Phytel, the leader in automated patient care management, recently announced a partnership aimed at providing physicians with the tools needed to proactively improve patient care. Per the terms of the agreement, both companies will expand their offerings and embed additional features into the proprietary product line, M3/Connect powered by Phytel.
"The affiliation with Phytel is key to our long-term strategy of providing information and technology that proactively improves patient care while enhancing our clients' growth strategies," said Jay Anders, M.D., MED3OOO Chief Medical Information Officer. "The alliance will give us the opportunity to work together to produce future tools to help our physicians better serve their patient populations."
"We are delighted to partner with MED3OOO to further our delivery of proactive patient care," said Jorge Miranda, VP of Business Development of Phytel. "By combining our unique strengths, we will be able to accelerate the delivery of evidence based care to a broader audience. MED3OOO's commitment to improving outcomes through their intelligent M3/IQ(TM) Data Warehouse will help us provide their clients with unified technology and future advances in proactive patient care."
The M3/Connect powered by Phytel is a powerful patient registry based solution that improves coordination of care by automating the follow up process for a practice's patient population, specifically patients with chronic conditions and those in need of preventive care services. M3/Connect powered by Phytel aggregates information from MED3OOO's M3/IQ(TM) warehouse, practice management systems, electronic medical records, hospital information systems and other available data sources in order to create an active patient registry for the practice or organization. M3/Connect powered by Phytel applies evidence-based disease management and preventive care protocols against the registry data to determine which patients are due for care. Identified patients are notified through automated outreach messaging. M3/Connect powered by Phytel also enables practices to track patients' responses and monitor compliance.
"This was a natural progression in our business relationship. We have worked together for more than five years and this alliance will continue to expand our proactive patient outreach and disease management protocol program to benefit our clients," said Scott Madden, MED3OOO Senior Director.
