Controlled Communications System for Physician-Hospital System Integration

摘要

An integrated digital communications system having HIPAA compliant text and email capability that complies with medical record maintenance requirements and facilitates physician/provider utilization of a healthcare system's resources is presented. The mobile platform capabilities include selection of physician/providers based on specialty and medical insurance plan participation, the scheduling of physician/provider referrals and medical procedures, healthcare provider to healthcare provider communications, medical billing, pharmacy formulary inquiry and ordering, reporting of physician/provider location, and provision of medical information and delivering news and alerts. The system includes a smart-device App that verifies users, encrypts and decrypts electronic messages, and transmits and receives electronic messages. Encrypted messages are securely stored, and automatically incorporated into patient healthcare records. The App provides a digital communication platform that integrates messaging capabilities with a hospital scheduling system to facilitate quick and easy scheduling of medical procedures and physician/provider consultations.
