You’re invited to redefine healthcare.

Think of the goods and services you can buy online right now—banking services, airline tickets, books, games, clothing you name it. You can locate, research and purchase almost anything over the Internet. The Internet has helped give consumers instant gratification and has made us an on-demand society.

Traditional healthcare remains the opposite of on-demand. You wait for an appointment. Wait in traffic to get to your appointment. Wait for the doctor. Wait for your prescription. And so on.

Thanks to telemedicine the waiting is over and more and more consumers are joining the revolution. With SwiftMD, the convenience and ease of access now applies to healthcare:

You can talk to a doctor via the Web or phone. You can videoconference with a physician via your computer webcam. Soon you’ll be able to send a photo of an injury or rash right from your phone. No longer must you drive across town or wait in a crowded ER to get the care you need.

Your care is tracked with a sophisticated electronic medical record that lets you view your physician’s notes, follow your treatment history and track your prescriptions. You can share this record with your family doctor or specialists. And it’s available anytime.

You can refill prescriptions, access extensive health information, and much more.

Most important, your information is strictly confidential. Electronic medical records reside on a separate, secure server accessible only to your SwiftMD doctors. Storage of your information complies fully with all HIPAA regulations and patient privacy laws.
