PALM DESERT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lifespan (Pink Sheets:LSPN - News) (www.lifespaninc.com) will commence the marketing of the Medical ScreenPhone, its internet access telephony product, to the 14 trillion dollar US healthcare industry as a medical verification, authorization and billing solution as well as a home care communications tool. Lifespan anticipates that the medical marketplace introduction will be rapidly followed by deployment into the hospitality, banking/finance, security and other telecom markets.
Lifespan CEO, Mr. Ken Berscht stated, “Increased efficiencies are sorely needed in healthcare. Currently, administrative costs in healthcare exceed $200 billion each year. The Medical ScreenPhone can be easily utilized to significantly improve the efficiency of a small part of the US medical electronic data transfer (EDT) and electronic medical record (EMR) market. But the best part of the use of the Medical ScreenPhone in this industry is that it will ultimately improve the practice and delivery of healthcare to the benefit of doctors and their patients.”
As a result of the sensitive and highly personal nature of electronic medical records (EMR), electronic data transfer (EDT) and all other health information, system-wide security and simplicity of use has been integrated into the Medical ScreenPhone. The touch screen Internet access, comprehensive encryption technology, smartcard authentication processes, and secure HIPAA certified server networks, safeguard the transmission and storage of patients’ confidential data and medical information.
Medical ScreenPhone based EDT provides numerous benefits to healthcare providers. It eliminates the need for office staff to prepare claims manually, endlessly wait for a telephone response or re-key repetitive transaction information. With ScreenPhone there are no complicated and expensive computers, no paper forms, no faxes, no envelopes and no stamps. Medical office staff can perform more efficiently, saving Doctors and Insurers time and money.
The ScreenPhone combines the Internet features of a PC, such as information access, web surfing and email, with the simplicity of a regular telephone. The 8.2-inch full color touch screen gives easy access to the Internet while the normal telephone handset and retractable keyboard provide an easy-to-use interface connection. The ScreenPhone will be fully configured for PSTN modem connectivity and high speed Internet connectivity through 10BaseT Ethernet and supports voice over IP (VOIP).
Medical ScreenPhone terminals are specially configured to perform medical eligibility confirmation, authorization, claims submission, electronic medical record access and transmission, home monitoring, prescription submission, and medical data transmission.
