The Solution:

Private Community Resource Search Engine Services:

Medical Central's Search Engine product is a private Internet-based search engine web site for case managers to find the exact community resources they need for their clients - from providers in the Case Managers employer's network to other non-profit community resources.

With the Private Search Engine, your case managers can immediately find doctors, chiropractors, hospitals, and other practitioners. Our databases also contain drug rehabilitation, eldercare, nursing home, assisted living, and any other commonly referred-to community resource. All databases are updated continuously by our provider clients, and we receive quarterly and semi-annually updates from a variety of industry sources to supplement any on-line updates.

Our physician and hospital and eldercare facility subscribers build and maintain their web sites through our services and update their amenities, programs, services, specialties, and procedures continuously.

Nursing Homes, Assisted Living, and other extended care subscribers to our Patient Net^tm product update the number and type of open beds that they have on a daily basis. This information is also available to our Health Plan Clients.

The Private Search Medical Engines are a sub-set of our nation-wide databases utilized in the 650 medical and health search engine web sites of the Medical Central Online family (www.medicalcentral.com).

Your site will be customized for your needs based on the providers that are contracted with you i.e. all contracted providers are organized into categories for searches. You can search by location, provider type, specialty, diseases treated, and surgical procedures performed.

For a provider and view education, specialties, sub-specialties, credentialing information and treatment philosophies. You can even set up appointment requests for a covered life. (The provider needs to enable this feature so they can accept the on-line appointment requests).

Our databases are the most detailed found anywhere. We guarantee it!

Your Private Search Engine services include a custom web site from one of our standard templates. We will work with you to make the site as attractive and easy to use as possible.

If requested, we can also provide update privileges to your Case Managers or your human resources staff so they can also update data when providers drop or are added to your health plan's directories.
