ColumbiaDoctors, a New York City-based and Columbia University-affiliated medical practice, has implemented a mobile patient engagement platform.
The platform, developed by the patient engagement provider HealthGrid, allows direct communication between physicians and patients through mobile devices. ColumbiaDoctors says this product will enhance patient care by giving patients immediate access to care information, personalized patient education and the option for mobile check-in, to reduce office wait times.
"We are committed to ensuring that organizations like ColumbiaDoctors have an integrated approach to patient engagement, ensuring patients and care teams are in sync at every care touchpoint, while also achieving the highest levels of MU attestation for patient-facing measures," said Raj Toleti, co-founder and CEO of HealthGrid.
"HealthGrid's intelligent patient engagement platform will enable us to stay connected with patients and keep them engaged, informed and supported at all touch points of their care journey," said George A. "Jack" Cioffi, MD, president of ColumbiaDoctors.
