merchandise to storing your receipts and even dating, it seems that more and
more things are being done over the Internet every day. With a constant flow of
fresh companies offering new capabilities on the Internet, it’s hard to tell
what real-world processes will soon be remembered as obsolete
memories. One Florida based start-up is using the Internet to change the way we
look at something a bit unexpected: health care.
Enurgi is essentially a social
network for care givers and care recipients. The idea is simple, Enurgi provides a medium
for families and patients to find and contact clinical caregivers. Through
Enurgi’s online caregiver database of over 1.5 million licensed clinicians,
families and patients can now use the Internet to find the doctor they want.
What’s more, Enurgi provides the ability for patients and caregivers to
independently manage their transactions through on-line scheduling, instant
messaging, referral and direct payment transactions.
While enabling the possibility of independent management
of the care process, Enurgi also provides the tools necessary to ensure a
smooth caregiver-patient transaction. The comprehensive care management portal
gives users the ability to manage patient schedules, transact caregiver
payments, conduct patient-to-caregiver instant messaging, and submit quality of
care ratings.
By changing the way we look at
healthcare, Enurgi stands in the forefront of moving our traditional world onto
the Internet. The concept of Enurgi promises simplicity, convenience, and more
power to the individual in the healthcare world. Although hospitals and
emergency rooms will not be disappearing for a long time, perhaps your doctor will
soon be a part of Enurgi’s 1.5 million(and growing) registered clinicians. It will be interesting
to see how this atypical technological advance in healthcare works out in the
future.
