Web Integration Is Helping Doctors in Delivery of Quality Healthcare

Nov. 5, 2012 - PRLog -- Continuing a trend of developing Web tools that streamline operations for clients within the healthcare industry, I-ology, Inc. - a leading Scottsdale-based Web technology firm - recently launched an online Physician Portal for longtime client, Sonora Quest Laboratories.

The new portal - which can be found at www.sonoraquest.com - allows the company's medical office clients to conveniently and securely view and pay invoices online, look up patient account information, order lab supplies and marketing materials, and more.

"We perform more routine and specialized tests than any laboratory in Arizona, so being able to improve the way in which our clients do business with us is a remarkable benefit," said Linda Hausman, Sales Support & Marketing Manager for Sonora Quest Laboratories.

The creation of the portal for Sonora Quest Laboratories is just the latest solution I-ology has created for clients within the healthcare industry. I-ology also redeveloped Sonora Quest's Website, incorporating new patient features such as appointment scheduling and online bill pay. Additionally, last year, the company developed a virtual tour, interactive map, and a social media-focused mobile Website for Phoenix Children's Hospital.

"Any time we can use our quality, innovative Web tools to help a client streamline its operations and increase efficiencies, we are excited," said Trish Bear, CEO/President of I-ology. "But when you know that the tools you created are helping to deliver better healthcare, it makes it that much more rewarding."

Sonora Quest Laboratories is an integrated laboratory system servicing over 7,000 clients throughout Arizona including hospitals, physicians, managed care organizations and employers. The company has approximately 2,600 employees statewide and performs over 70,000 diagnostic tests per day.
