The California Medical Association Launches Physician Mobile Communication Solution Statewide
Austin, Texas, September 24, 2014
DocbookMD is excited to partner with the California Medical Association (CMA), providing a secure physician-to-physician and physician-to-care team messaging solution to CMA’s nearly 40,000 member base. Previously only available in some counties, DocbookMD is now offered as a free member benefit to all CMA members.
“DocbookMD is a great tool for CMA members because it was developed by physicians for physicians and offers a product that is unique to their needs,” said Dustin Corcoran, CMA CEO.
Distinct clinical integrations within DocbookMD allow medical teams throughout California to attach images, dictate messages or directly connect via DocbookMD’s API. With the ability to send admit, discharge and transfer documents in seconds, DocbookMD helps physicians, hospitals and medical groups streamline workflows and improve patient care.
DocbookMD‘s popularity stems in part from its open, but protected, approach to healthcare communication. “Healthcare organizations are moving toward a unified solution that not only provides greater flexibility to practice medicine, but also ensures patient data stays protected,” said Tim Gueramy, M.D., CEO and co-founder of DocbookMD. “Having access to DocbookMD as a free member benefit instantly gives CMA physician members and healthcare systems throughout the state the power to communicate without barriers, ultimately increasing the level of care provided and reducing costs for physicians, hospitals and patients alike.”
DocbookMD launched its Docbook Enterprise solution in November of last year to help large hospitals and healthcare groups better manage their critical communications and care-team workflow. In partnering with the California Medical Association, Enterprises can instantly elevate the level of care they can provide by giving their physicians the ability to quickly send and receive critical patient communications beyond their limited internal networks.
