Sunrise Health Deploys the iTriage Smartphone App to Push Out Average ER Wait Times for Mobile Patients
Patients now have greater access to Las Vegas area Sunrise Health facilities and medical information with the iTriage healthcare decision tool. iTriage is a free medical smartphone app that allows users to search symptoms, causes, medical conditions and find providers.
Las Vegas, NV, May 03, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Sunrise Health today announced an expansion of their average ER Wait Time posting services to smartphone users. Sunrise Hospital, MountainView Hospital, SouthernHills Hospital and Sunrise Children’s Hospital will now have their average ER Wait Times available on the iTriage® smartphone application developed by Healthagen, LLC. To access those times, Las Vegas Valley residents can download iTriage for their iPhone® or Android™ smartphones, or access it through any Web-enabled device at www.iTriageHealth.com.
By deploying the iTriage smartphone app, Sunrise Health gives immediate access to detailed information about its hospitals, including specialties offered, location maps, social media, community services and average ER Wait times.
With the introduction of this premier level of service, hospitals of Sunrise Health join a growing number of hospital systems across the country to utilize this interactive technology. This technology empowers consumers to evaluate symptoms, learn about the possible causes and find appropriate locations for treatment. Additionally, Las Vegas area residents will have on-the-go access to hospital average ER Wait Times with iTriage.
“We realize that our patients and the community are obtaining health information from more and more resources, and never has that been more evident than with mobile channels that are providing convenient access,” said Sylvia Young, President and CEO for Sunrise Health. “More importantly, mobile healthcare applications like iTriage allow our hospitals to have an ongoing and more personal relationship with members of our community. iTriage is an extension of the patient-and-family-centered care we offer every day and those who download the application will have access to updates of new services and medical treatment options, as well as helpful links like our 24 hour nurse advice lines.”
Built by emergency room physicians, iTriage aggregates healthcare information in a structured and actionable way, and closes the information gap between doctors and patients. As the healthcare landscape changes, iTriage continues to provide technology to empower healthcare consumers.
“We recognize the medical centers in Las Vegas as healthcare facilities providing leading edge technology to members of its community. Partnering with iTriage to push out average ER Wait Times on smartphone devices is another way that the people who live in and around Las Vegas benefit from what Sunrise Health is doing. This technology adoption speaks to their deep commitment to help community members make educated health treatment decisions through advanced technologies,” said Peter Hudson, M.D., CEO, Healthagen, developer of iTriage.
