Kryptiq Launches Healthcare Leadership Series
PORTLAND, Ore., May 17: Kryptiq Corporation, the leader in connectivity and workflow solutions for healthcare, announced the release of a series of streaming audio interviews featuring leading healthcare experts who presented at Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2007. Included in the series are Doug Smith, CIO of Martin's Point Health Care; Christopher Crow, M.D., founder of the "Physicians Practice(R), 2006 Practice of the Year," Family Medical Specialists of Texas; David Shute, M.D., medical director at Greenfield Health System; Brian Williams, CMPE, president of Springfield Neurological and Spine Institute; and Tom Landholt, M.D., founder of Patient Care Family Clinic in Springfield Missouri. The downloadable interviews address a variety of issues surrounding healthcare today in areas of data transparency, interoperability, and patient access to services.
"Since implementing Kryptiq's patient portal, we're averaging 50 percent of our patients registering online electronically in advance of office visits. Patients like it because it speeds up their office visit, and the physicians and nurses like it for its ability to capture routine histories ahead of time, allowing more time to focus on the exam," said Brian Williams, president of Springfield Neurological and Spine Institute. "This is just one illustration of how our adoption of Kryptiq's technology has enabled us to increase operational efficiency and gain competitive advantage."
Each interview brings to life unique experiences through compelling statistics and real-world scenarios regarding patient adoption, usage and satisfaction rates with patient portals and related technologies. The speakers address future plans for improving connectivity and transparency between practices, specialists and patients, the challenges associated with physician and patient adoption of these technologies, and the challenges facing plans and providers as these changes occur.
Specifically, each interviewee discusses the following trends:
o Doug Smith: Discusses improving quality of healthcare services
through data transparency and interoperability.
o Christopher Crow: Demonstrates how the Physician Practice of the
Year (Physician Practice Magazine) has built practice efficiency and
improved co-ordination of care through secure messaging with
patients and other providers.
o David Shute: Examines achieving workflow efficiency for physicians
and staff by the intelligent adoption of IT systems that extend
beyond the walls of the clinic.
o Brian Williams: Illustrates how to achieve operational efficiency
and competitive advantage through the adoption of online patient
services.
o Tom Landholt: Explores changing patient expectations in the online
Family Practice.
