Harrisonville, MO, March 18, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Cass Regional Medical Center today announced a new partnership with Healthagen® to promote its hospital and area facilities on iTriage® — a free application for all iPhone® and Android™ smartphones, and for all Web-enabled devices at www.iTriageHealth.com. Cass Regional Medical Center is the first healthcare provider in Missouri and the greater Kansas City area to connect with patients via this innovative smartphone technology.

With the introduction of this premier level of service, Cass Regional Medical Center will not only be highlighting their hospital and available specialists and services, but also their area family practice physicians and clinics. Smartphone users will have on-the-go access to information on all services related to Cass Regional Medical Center, as well as healthcare information that allows smartphone users to search medical symptoms, learn about the possible causes and find appropriate locations for treatment.

“We look forward to our partnership with Healthagen as we continue to invest in people, facilities, equipment and technology so that we may best care for the person in each patient,” said Chris Lang, CEO of Cass Regional. “The iTriage application enhances our ability to reach out and inform potential patients and visitors of the services Cass Regional provides,” he said.

Built by emergency room physicians, iTriage aggregates healthcare information in a structured and actionable way, and provides unrestricted access to important medical information. As the healthcare landscape changes, iTriage continues to provide technology to empower healthcare consumers. With iTriage, west central Missouri communities will be able to connect with Cass Regional Medical Center to find contact information, facility mapping, quality reports and the capabilities of its general surgery clinic and its six family practice clinics.

“Cass Regional Medical Center’s decision to partner with iTriage speaks directly to their belief in providing cutting edge medical care through advanced technology.
