BETHESDA, Md., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Estco Medical today announced the launch of a revamped Web site for eHealth Initiative at http://www.ehealthinitiative.org/. EHealth Initiative and its Foundation are focused on the improvement of healthcare through information and information technology. Estco redesigned the look and feel of the site and incorporated Medigent(R) Content Management System (CMS) Version 2.5. The CMS allows eHealth to update and maintain the site navigation and incorporate the latest news, events and industry information. Additionally, the site features membership applications, online newsletters, information sign ups and serves as the main portal to eHealth’s subgroups.
“As we grow in membership and expand online resources, the Medigent software has allowed us to offer our members and site users with the best possible resources. The easy-to-use applications have been beneficial to our busy internal staff and allow them to disseminate new content, event listing and funding/grant updates as well as organize it by industry category,” said David L. Dieterich, Senior Vice President for the eHealth Initiative.
Estco Medical also further enhanced the Web site of eHealth’s subgroup, Connecting Communities for Better Health (CCBH), at http://www.connectingcommunitiesprogram.org/. Originally launched by Estco last quarter using Medigent CMS, the latest site also incorporates Medigent Collaborate to power an online resource network and make CCBH a direct part of the main eHealth Web site.
The Community Learning Network, http://ccbh.ehealthinitiative.org/, is an online information sharing network and resource center for communities moving from paper-based record-keeping to electronic health records (EHR). Collaborate allows CCBH staff to centrally manage the extensive repository of text, image and other multimedia materials, such as current research, advice and IT expertise about electronic health information exchange. CCBH used Collaborate to organize the network into seven categories and allow site visitors to view information by various perspectives and by job function.
