DocTalk®

DocTalk® has been utilized by AKDHC for the past 18 years. The hospital census program was first implemented into the practice in May of 2003 with 18 physicians and 4 full time billing personnel.  In October of 2003, the physicians designed the Physician to Physician Sign-Out program. The Dialysis patient visit tracking program followed in January of 2004. Today, AKDHC has tripled the number of physicians yet reduced its billing personnel. DocTalk® has helped AKDHC increase efficiency and reduce overall expenses. DocTalk® utilizes wireless technology to communicate patient information between physicians and administration efficiently using a Smartphone or a secure Web Portal.  This technology is utilized for capturing Hospital Census and Dialysis Unit Rounds charges. A provider can also complete patient sign-out and follow up information for physician to physician communication. All information is synchronized with a secure Web Portal providing the physicians with an up to date census upon synchronization. The portal can also be used by Doctors and staff to enter, monitor and scrub all information. New DocTalk add on’s include DocTalk® access and surgery center applications.
