Dr. Gopal Chopra, CEO of Pingmd, Inc., a New York City-based mobile communications healthcare solutions company, announced an extension of the company’s partnership agreement with Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC Children’s), for integration of the pingmd 2 platform, featuring three new capabilities to further strengthen communications between doctors, networks and patients, during the HIMSS 15 Annual Conference and Exhibition, McCormick Place, April 12-16. Booth 7356.
The pingmd platform establishes an efficient and structured dialogue between patients and doctors, and doctors and their colleagues, using a secure app which captures photographs, videos and text-based conversations. Pingmd’s case-based system enables patients to submit relevant information to their doctors, who can then immediately provide feedback, next steps and create secure documentation that is HIPAA compliant.
CHOC Children’s and pingmd have been successfully working together to integrate pingmd throughout the hospital for over a year. Our teams will continue to collaborate on identifying and adding new functionality to pingmd 2 to further improve the productivity of CHOC Children’s physicians and staff, enhancing the delivery of high quality care.
To simplify the workflow, pingmd’s upgrade allows the integration of certain EHRs and HIEs across all platforms, thus enabling consults, cases, physician orders and follow-ups to go into the record of the patient seamlessly.
“In addition to the internal workflow advancements, pingmd’s second upgrade includes improvements to the patient engagement features which increase the efficiency of communication between patients care providers,” explained Chopra. Particularly vital to telemedicine and virtual care, these new features enable better navigation of services and tracking of patients before, between or after visits.
The third upgrade enables providers to more rapidly build team referral networks and create referral directories. This capability enhances the efficiency of the virtual consultation helping physicians build their referral networks automatically, much faster than web directories, thereby contributing to more rapid practice growth.
Pingmd, Inc. is a cloud based secure communication platform that provides messaging, voice and virtual care; integration to medical records; population health patient engagement; eVisit technology; and data and analytics of communication and care management.
