CapMed to Offer Personal Health Record Users 'Smart Messaging' that Delivers Actionable Health Information
NEWTOWN, Pa., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- CapMed (http://www.capmed.com/), a division of Bio-Imaging Technologies, Inc. , and provider of interactive personal health management solutions, today announced that it will begin offering "smart messaging" to users of its award-winning Personal Health Record (PHR) through a gaps-in-care protocol engine within the PHR. The gaps-in-care engine analyzes both user-entered and electronically provided personal health information to notify users of needed care or to trigger information alerts within the PHR.
"Smart messaging supports CapMed's ongoing commitment to engage users in better health management by providing solutions that are both personal and actionable, enhancing PHR for both consumers and our partners such as health plans, employers and hospitals," said Wendy Angst, General Manager of CapMed. "Structured around a comprehensive review of PHR information using nationally recognized guidelines, smart messaging delivers quality support to individuals and care team members, ensuring that preventive and follow-up care are completed on schedule."
Users of CapMed's PHR receive personally relevant information on treatment options, providers, support groups, clinical trials, medication recalls, alerts for values out of normal range data and reminders for continued care. For example, a 55-year-old woman would receive reminders to make her annual mammogram appointment based on the date of her previous exam, while a patient with diabetes would receive an alert to schedule foot and eye exams even if no previous records of eye and foot exams were present within the PHR.
CapMed's smart messaging can be sent directly to a user of CapMed's PHR and displayed on their PHR dashboard (a dashboard view of health status and action items), sent via secure email, or text messaged to a mobile phone. With the user's permission, messages can also be sent to a user's physician or other care team members. CapMed messages often contain live links that enable the user to refill a medication, schedule a test or simply review additional health content.
CapMed's smart messaging is powered by a gaps-in-care protocol engine, which is focused on best practice clinical guidelines. The engine compares available data against nationally recognized electronic health guidelines to produce evidence-based messaging on an individual's health status.
