FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Web Services Help Medical Practices Upgrade to Healthcare 2.0.
Appointment Reminder and Verification Features Go Fully Automatic
Chesapeake, VA (March 1, 2009) – From efficiency in patient contact to real-time identity theft prevention, Web Services can quickly improve the bottom line for medical management software developers and healthcare practices. Veteran API provider CDYNE Corporation is working with health IT developers to create usable solutions for fraud and communications issues that are a major part of health technology initiatives – for compliance and progress.
With simple add-ons to medical management software, appointment reminders and patient screening integrate with existing software to increase customer retention and attrition for the manufacturer and benefits for the health practice – without a system overhaul. Web Services help hospitals and practices improve patient communication and automate routine tasks. With patient validation at sign-in, Web Services can enhance identity theft prevention plans required by the FTC.
“For medical management software makers, the easiest way to add value and stay flexible with their offering is to plug new services into the current application,” said Christopher Chenoweth, CIO of CDYNE Corporation. “Automated phone and SMS messages and data quality Web Services add function and increase customer satisfaction with short development time, and manufacturers can profit from reselling additional services as a premium to their customers.”
CDYNE hosts secure, high-quality APIs that software developers and in-house staff can use to maximize practice efficiency. Phone and SMS Notify help decrease appointment no-shows and late bill payments and improve service. Death Index, 411, and other data services reduce fraud, aid compliance, and keep records up to date.
CDYNE offers free trial keys. A dedicated healthcare IT page focuses on appointment reminder features, and developers that sign up for Phone/SMS Notify receive fraud prevention Web Services with $0 monthly fee and reduced transaction rates.

Winner of the Phone Notify! Idea Contest Gets His Mini

Posted by: CDYNE

We are pleased to announce the winner of the CDYNE Phone Notify! Idea Contest:  Rick Bullotta of Phoenixville, PA.  We bet he’s happily tapping away at his Dell Mini right this minute.  ” Thank you so much!  What an awesome surprise,” said Rick when we checked in on him.  You’re welcome, Rick.  We love your idea.  Let’s make it happen.

 

So What’s The Big Idea?

 

 

 

Rick’s plan is to develop an app for service providers (like doctors, spas and restaurants) to fill gaps or cancellations by interfacing with customers booking last minute appointments.  Everybody wins – providers maximize schedules and customers who don’t want to wait a month for an appointment can be wait-listed and notified when one opens up. 

 

We don’t want to reveal too many details and steal Rick’s thunder, so that’s all you’re getting for now.  We think the idea has real potential.  To show our support and enable Rick to develop the app at his leisure, we gave him 500 Phone Notify! transactions to play with in addition to the grand prize – a Dell Mini with Windows 7.

 

Keep an eye out for our next contest…it could be you next time.  And as always, we like to hear your ideas.  We’ll be happy to help you develop them.  For inspiration, cdyne.com will host a dedicated page for the contest submissions – our favorites – in March/April. Watch for it!

 

Thanks to all our contest entrants.  The final decision was difficult.  There are some creative developers out there itching to contribute something grand to the world.  And a few of you ready to shovel some back to “the man.”  We can appreciate both!
