How Doctors Conveniently Get Up To Date Drug Information Even on Vacation

 

Scottsdale, Ariz., September 18 -- It was just a typical day at Clinical Information Network's Video Call Center in Scottsdale, Ariz. Busy physicians throughout the U.S. were taking advantage of the convenience of using their computers to initiate live onscreen face-to-face meetings with pharmaceutical executives who were able to answer their questions and provide them with valuable information about their company's prescription products and other clinical information.

In fact, physicians have frequently told the company's Management that they really like the convenience of being able to use Clinical InfoNET at times and in places of their convenience. "They like being able to get important clinical and product information when and where they want it," stated Peter Moriarty, CEO of Clinical Information Network, "via the Clinical InfoNET system, and many of them make regular monthly calls to pharmaceutical companies just to keep up to date."

However, one particular call that came in that day really proved the point of convenience.

It was just after 10 a.m. on that Thursday morning when, Karen Chemodurow, one of the executives representing a particular pharmaceutical company, accepted the next call. However, this call was different from all of the others that she had received that morning. This call was from Dr. Gary Spector, who is a Primary Care physician based in Connecticut, and a regular user of Clinical InfoNET. On this occasion, however, he was calling from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he was on vacation visiting his in-laws.

Afterwards, Dr. Spector commented, "I was able to receive the same great info from Karen as I do in my office or from home. The connection and procedure were easy as pie." He added, with a chuckle, "She could have spoken to me in Portuguese."

Prior to the call from Brazil, another story made its way to Clinical Information Network's corporate offices. A live, two-way video call was conducted from a laptop downloaded with the Clinical InfoNET software from 30,000+ feet... using the Wi-Fi Internet services that are offered on a small but increasing number of airlines.

"It's both amusing and rewarding to hear anecdotal stories about the convenience and ease of use of our Clinical InfoNET system, whether generated from another continent or from five-miles up in the sky," stated Moriarty. "We developed our video conferencing application with the physician in mind. We wanted to have an application that had high quality video and audio, and that was enormously secure (HIPAA compliant), while also being really easy to use, even for the most technophobic physician."

"We've achieved exactly that with Clinical InfoNET," Moriarty added, "which is why it's used for physician to physician communications in hospital and in offices, as well as for keeping up-to-date with clinical information from our pharmaceutical clients."
