Park City Solutions Establishes Physicians Advisory Board to Help Physicians Provide Enhanced Patient Care Through Information Technology

Midway, Utah / Cleveland, Ohio — January 22, 2003 — Park City Solutions has established a Physicians Advisory Board to analyze how physicians can more effectively use Park City Solutions emPOWERnet information technology portals to better diagnose and treat patients. The Boards goals are aimed at personalizing the technology to ensure its ease of use for physicians. By taking advantage of the capabilities Park City Solutions information technology portals offer, physicians can streamline their practices, allowing for faster, more effective patient diagnosis and treatment.

The Physicians Advisory Board provides Park City Solutions with valuable feedback from physicians and healthcare organizations that are already implementing portals into their current systems," says Scott Holbrook, EVP and Co-Founder, Park City Solutions. We can then take the Boards feedback and use it to personalize our emPOWERnet portals to help physicians increase their practice efficiency. With time-saving, streamlined processes, theyll be able to make faster diagnoses, treat more patients, and spend more time with their current patients."

Park City Solutions Physicians Advisory Board brings together physicians and other professionals from leading healthcare organizations around the country, including MacNeal Hospital, Alexian Brothers Medical Center, Rush-Copley Medical Center, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, Health Quest Medical Services, and Advocate Health Care. Board members share their insight and ideas for the testing of new applications, feasibility of ideas, priority of new development, and information organization and management. Key issues include online data retrieval, data integration, information customization, image review, and credentialing.

The key to physician acceptance and usability of any software product is to make it beneficial and easy for physicians to use," says David Thompson, M.D., FACEP, and Assistant Medical Director and Vice Chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at MacNeal Hospital in Chicago, IL. The Physicians Advisory Board is unique in that it integrates the clinical experience of practicing physicians with the software know-how of technology experts at Park City Solutions. This direct clinical end-user input is integral to ensuring the success and usability of Park City Solutions portal offerings."

Park City Solutions emPOWERnet technology — a customizable enterprise portal platform, helps clients achieve integrated information delivery and exchange through the Internet and existing healthcare systems. Used by more than 150 healthcare systems in the United States and Canada, emPOWERnet enables healthcare organizations to rapidly deploy community, provider, patient, and employee portals using a proven XML technology platform. This allows information to be stored in a dynamic environment where users can post changes to their portals from any Internet connection, at any time.

A physician portal, for example, may be used to provide physicians with instant access to their electronic clinical systems via the Internet, including patient records, lab test results, treatment history, and a wealth of drug and treatment information. Additional features like integrated links to health plan provider Web sites using a link library module can give physicians access to a patients pre-certification and eligibility information.
