Outside the Office: Patient Outreach PatientCal Adds Online Calendar With Appointment Notes By Staff Thursday, January 31, 2013 12:18 AM Product: PatientCal Online Appointment Notes Top Line: PatientCal, business management software that is specifically designed for the healthcare industry, has released online appointment notes. Launching as an online appointment scheduler and catering to the healthcare industry with features such as automated patient retention, PatientCal takes a unique approach to appointment notes. Close Up: With PatientCal, appointment notes are created through an online calendar, so glancing at a schedule provides quick access to a patient's profile and treatment notes. Additionally, images can easily be attached to each note for future reference. "After our launch last year we dedicated our time to listening to areas of frustration for various sectors of healthcare. Through feedback from our customers, attending conferences, and connecting with industry associations we found that moving treatment notes from the filing cabinet to online was a priority for most practices," said PatientCal co-founder Michael Vesia. PatientCal said its software is being quickly adopted by optical dispensaries and other small healthcare practices that may find that existing software packages aren’t realistically priced, and online schedulers alone aren’t enough to help run a business.
