Visalia, CA, February 24, 2012 --(PR.com)-- People who want to sign-up for QuickPass, a service that lets you skip the waiting room at Sequoia Prompt Care, can now do so using iTriage® – a free healthcare app.

From a smartphone, iTriage lets users quickly find medical information, facilities in the area such as Sequoia Prompt Care and Kaweah Delta Urgent Care, and pre-register for care at Sequoia Prompt Care with its QuickPass. iTriage is available as a free download from app stores for iPhone® and Android™ mobile phones, and is also accessible on the Internet at www.iTriageHealth.com.

“Providing the members of our community with health care access using the most up-to-date technology is a priority,” said John Leal, Nurse Manager, Sequoia Prompt Care and Kaweah Delta Urgent Care Center.

According to a recent survey by Intuit Health, more than 70% of patients want online access to medical providers and health information.
