The New England Society for Healthcare Communications highlighted the new philosophy of the Patient-Centric Web, presented by Geonetric, at their Spring Symposium on May 5th and 6th, 2005. Eric Engelmann, President and CEO for Geonetric, detailed how this unique methodology can provide hospitals with better, more personalized health information for health consumers in an efficient and benefit-oriented manner.

The speech outlined the methodology behind creating a patient-centric website and the organizational challenges and outdated perceptions that make this transformation an opportunity and a challenge for hospitals. "Patients are wanting more control over their personal health," said Engelmann. "When hospitals utilize web technologies for this, it now only allows them to better manage their health, but also creates a permanent differentiation from other hospitals and an interconnection between that patient that's hard to break."

The presentation was also highlighted as Geonetric's March Webinar, "The Patient-Centric Web", on March 23rd and 31st at 2:00 pm CST. Interested registrants that would like a copy of the presentation or signup for future Webinars can visit the Geonetric site at http://www. geonetric. com (http://www. geonetric. com).
