HEALINX CORPORATION RECOMMENDED BY CALMED NETWORK, THE NEW YORK COLLEGE OF PODIATRIC MEDICINE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, AND THE CHARLESTON COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY

Medical Associations Nationwide Encourage Physicians to Communicate Online With Their Patients Using the Healinx™ System

Orange, CA, January 31, 2000 - Healinx Corporation today announced that Calmed Network, the New York College of Podiatric Medicine Alumni Association (NYCPM), and the Charleston County Medical Society (CCMS) all recommend the Healinx Web-based doctor-patient messaging system to their members. Designed as a "physician extender," the Healinx system enables physicians to meet the growing demand to communicate online with their patients, enhances physician/patient relationships, reduces patient care costs and increases physician and office productivity. In cooperative agreements, these medical associations will be closely working with Healinx to insure that the needs of physicians and patients are met with its secure, online messaging system.

"Industry analysts and industry surveys show a clear and strong demand by patients to engage in an online relationship with their physicians," said Assaf Morag, MD, CEO, Healinx Corporation. "In many cases, patients have stated that getting their healthcare provider online is their number one interest on the Internet. The support of these medical associations should help validate to Californian, New York and South Carolinian physicians the increasing role of the Internet in modern healthcare, while helping Healinx to better serve physicians and patients in this new world of Internet connectivity."

 

Free to both physicians and patients, Healinx offers the only system available today that allows patients to communicate online with their own physician, schedule appointments, request prescriptions, refills and referrals to specialists, engage in online consultation and access their medical profile online. Over 1000 physicians and thousands of patients are already using the Healinx system, and the numbers have grown rapidly since the product's launch this past November.

"Healinx meets the overwhelming patient demand to communicate online with their own physicians," said Joe Baba, President, Calmed Network. "Calmed Network believes that Healinx will provide substantial benefits for physicians and their patients and we recommend use of the system to all our members as well as fellow Californian physicians."

Combining database and Internet technology with industry expertise and physician and patient input, the Healinx system is rapidly becoming the industry standard in doctor-patient online communication. The Healinx system includes a patent-pending workflow tool that mimics the physician's existing practice environment. Incoming patient messages are automatically routed to effectively delegate workload. This feature overcomes one of the major barriers to physician adoption of online physician-patient communication. The unique message templates generated by the system "on-the-fly" drastically reduce typing for both patients and physicians. In addition, the communication is more concise and accurate, reducing the need for time-consuming back and forth conversations, and virtually eliminating "phone tag," chart pulls and prescription call-ins.
