Talk Title: Building Canada’s largest physician network
Abstract:

A physician’s time is precious and many turn to technologies to improve efficiencies, access clinical information online, and to coordinate with their staff or colleagues. So why is it that technology adoption among healthcare professionals is among the lowest? It’s because most software is built without the doctor in mind.
Learn how PetalMD built Canada’s largest network of physicians, by solving real every day problems physicians face with our scheduling, secure messaging and collaboration technologies.
