Any MarketRing application can be readily incorporated into a local health system's existing web site and enterprise-wide Internet strategy. Each collection of practice web sites serves as the core of the E-Health Community. The Internet and Healthcare MarketRing leverages the power of the Internet to deploy E-Health Communities that offer critical communication and data management resources to patients, physicians and hospital systems. Healthcare is a locally provided service. The most powerful trust relationship exists between patients and their physicians.
Hospital systems are at the center of any successful enterprise-wide healthcare strategy.
The integration of disparate systems across the enterprise is essential to maximize the use of installed hardware and software resources. Community success is measured by the improvement in participant communications, improvement of care and patient satisfaction, and the reduction of the cost of providing care. While easy to describe, the daunting challenge facing healthcare providers and systems across the country today is the need to securely share data between disparate systems across the enterprise. The Internet represents the most powerful data sharing tool. In addition, since MarketRing's WebRing software operates from a single set of controlling source code, only one interface is required to effect integration between thousands of practice web sites and a Health System's data infrastructure.
