MD Now Urgent Care Opens Newest Largest High Tech Clinic in West Palm Beach Florida Partnering with iTriage Medical Decision Tool for iPhone®, Smart Phone & Web Based App
MD Now Urgent Care Targets Growing Mobile Market on Healthagen’s iTriage Software Applications
West Palm Beach, FL, December 16, 2009 --(PR.com)-- MD Now® today announced a new partnership with Healthagen® to promote its Palm Beach County urgent care centers on iTriage™ – acute care decision tool for iPhone®, smart phone and Web-based users. Palm Beach County residents can now find the closest MD Now Urgent Care Center for immediate non-life threatening conditions, all from a mobile device.
MD Now is one of the first urgent care centers in Florida to utilize this interactive technology, which empowers consumers to evaluate symptoms, learn about the possible causes, find appropriate locations for treatment, as well as obtain cost information based on the type of facility.
“This partnership parallels the opening of our newest and largest 10,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art Urgent Care Center, Corporate & Conference Facility in West Palm Beach, located at 2007 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd,” explained CEO and Medical Director of, MD Now Urgent Care Walk-In Medical Centers, Peter Lamelas, MD, MBA, FACEP. “By providing information to our community about our newest urgent care medical center and the other MD Now clinic locations on iTriage, we are connecting with the growing base of mobile users who, in immediate care situations, need quick access for their non-life and limb threatening medical emergencies.”
Helping patients access the most appropriate level of care quickly is often an overlooked component of the healthcare debate. Mobile technology and “wireless health” hold considerable promise in helping patients take a proactive step in their healthcare and MD Now will use the mobile technology of iTriage to help patients when an unexpected need arises.
“iTriage gives healthcare facilities a way to leverage mobile devices and wireless networks to provide greater access to affordable healthcare. Putting actionable healthcare information into the hands of consumers, along with facility mapping to easily find that care, is the power behind iTriage,” said Peter Hudson, M.D., CEO, Healthagen.
