AllBetterCare Urgent Care Center Uses Smartphone Technology to Connect Patients with Medical Care

Mechanicsburg, PA, April 26, 2010 --(PR.com)-- AllBetterCare Urgent Care Center today announced a new partnership with Healthagen® to put medical and facility information into the hands of smartphone users with iTriage. Smartphone users can download iTriage® at no cost for their iPhone® iPod Touch® or Android™ smartphones through the app stores, or log onto www.iTriageHealth.com from any Internet-enabled device to access healthcare information.

With the introduction of this premier level of service, AllBetterCare joins the growing number of Pennsylvania medical facilities to utilize this interactive technology, which enables consumers to search medical symptoms, learn about the possible causes and find appropriate locations for treatment.

“iTriage gives our patients the resource to know if we are the right health care facility for them based on their symptom,” said Gregory Smolin, CEO of AllBetterCare. “Our Urgent Care Center can provide a wide spectrum of diagnostic and treatment services of which patients may not be aware. It’s hard to accurately put that information on a website or brochure, in a format that will make sense to patients when they are ill or uncomfortable. The interactive features of iTriage appropriately direct patients to AllBetterCare, and point those with more emergent or unstable conditions to the closest hospital emergency department.”

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 this addition, Mechanicsburg and nearby west shore communities now have on-the-go access to AllBetterCare Urgent Care Center details like contact information, mapping, quality reports and facility capabilities.

“AllBetterCare’s decision to partner with iTriage speaks directly to their belief in providing cutting edge medical care through advanced technology. We look forward to a truly flourishing partnership with this innovative new urgent care center as more Americans adopt smartphones as their frontline communication tool,” said Peter Hudson, M.D., CEO, Healthagen, developer of iTriage.
