A medical software development and hosting company, today debuted MDConnection, a platform independent, web-based patient management application that saves time and money on administrative tasks associated with running a practice.

Acting as a virtual assistant, MDConnection is HIPAA compliant, private, secure and is available online, any time of day, to help physicians and patients spend less time managing medical records, appointments, insurance and the billing process.

"Physicians across the country have told us they are always looking for ways to minimize time and money on administrative work involved with running their practice," says Peter Voutov, La Jolla Digital's chief technology officer. "We created MDConnection to revolutionize practice management software and bring the power of a large online community to the private practice."

MDConnection includes an advanced scheduling module -- an essential tool that lets patients schedule real-time appointments for themselves and family members with their physician's office, saving valuable time for both the patient and the medical practice. An intuitive step-by-step method guides the patient through the appointment booking, from choosing their physician to selecting a convenient time. The appointment is immediately reserved on the physician's schedule, and an automated confirmation email is sent to the patient.

MDConnection also features an online bill payment module that allows patients to pay medical bills using a credit card or an electronic check. The billing module keeps patients informed about the status of their medical bills, which aids in the practice's collection process.

Other time-saving features include an online patient medical record and administrative tools that allow patients to keep their personal contact information current. Since all of MDConnection's online tools directly interact with La Jolla Digital's Practice Management system, the medical practice benefits from the updates patients make to their current insurance, contact information and medical records.

MDConnection is an extension of the company's new and improved Web-based Practice Manager, a leading practice management system released by La Jolla Digital earlier this year. Both MDConnection and Practice Manager utilize the same architecture and intuitive user interface and work together to seamlessly manage a medical practice. This powerful combination creates the ultimate practice management solution for physicians with practices of any size.
