Day, provider of global content management software, today announced that Brown & Toland Medical Group has selected Day’s Communiqué to power the launch of a new Web site for its physicians and members. Brown & Toland's new Web site, http://www.brownandtoland.com, launched on September 22. The Web site features a fresh, new look as well as a health library with thousands of articles on a variety of health topics. The site also includes a comprehensive physician directory that allows users to search for physicians by name, specialty or zip code, as well as other important information for Brown & Toland patients and visitors to the site.
The new look features easy-to-use navigational tabs, designed to provide quick, easy access to information. The Web site also contains a portal to Brown & Toland's Web site for physicians and physician offices. The information on the physician site is password protected. Other highlights of the site include electronic editions of HealthLink, Brown & Toland's health newsletter, as well as the ability for patients and visitors to “opt in” and tailor the health information they receive via the Web. Future modifications to the site will allow Brown & Toland patients to make appointments and reconcile their account with select physician offices.
“Today's consumer has come to expect to use the Web as a research tool and a tool for transacting business, be it making appointments or paying bills online,” said Nancy Griest, Brown & Toland's Vice President, Medical Group Services, Information Technology. “In the future, we will make improvements to the Web site to make it even easier to our patients to use and to provide more information.”
After a competitive review, Brown & Toland selected Day because of its robust, open standards based solution and overall lower total cost of ownership. Finding the most flexible, easy-to-use content management system was a critical element in the selection process.
“We needed a system that would save our physicians time in their day-to-day tasks and provide our members with easy access to information,” said Richard Angeloni, Corporate Director of Communications, Brown & Toland Medical Group. “Day’s quick implementation enabled us to go to market quickly with a new site that could be accessed by our physicians, members and the public.”
Day will provide the content management framework with an open J2EE architecture, giving Brown & Toland the flexibility to scale the system along with their growth plans.
