Technology -- Internet

Practice Partner quickly and seamlessly connects to the Internet without the use of outside programs. Using Practice Partner's built-in Web browser, users can access the World Wide Web, a local Knowledge Base (with both clinical and administrative information), or any other HTML document. The templates used for note creation can have embedded Web or HTML file links, allowing easy linkage to relevant clinical references.

Built-in Browser

Practice Partner connects to the Internet via Practice Partner Internet. Practice Partner Internet includes an integrated web browser that utilizes Microsoft's Internet Explorer to access any HTML-based document. These documents can reside on the Internet, on Intranets, in Practice Partner's Knowledge Base, or in other third party utilities (such as Practice Partner Patient Education).

Knowledge Base

Practice Partner's Knowledge Base allows users to download HTML-based documents onto the central server, providing important clinical and administrative information at the click of a button (without having to make a connection to the Internet). This is ideal for storing frequently accessed procedures and protocols.

Practice Partner Web View®

Practice Partner Web View® allows physicians to share Practice Partner Patient Records charts safely and conveniently using the Internet. This allows physicians, patients and consultants the ability to view Patient Records charts over the Internet using any PC with an Internet browser. The service also allows patients to request appointments and fill out registration forms prior to their first visit.

The system uses a safe and secure Internet connection and access is fully customizable at the discretion of the practice. Data is securely transmitted utilizing SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), XML (Extensible Markup Language) and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) protocols, and displayed using XSL style sheets.

Practice Partner Web View® is an easy and convenient way to reduce calls into your office and the need to send physical copies of patient charts. The service boosts productivity while also improving quality of care and referral management.
