How's Business? Medical Tourism Association® Revamps Consumer Portal to Facilitate Patient-Provider Engagement.

www.MedicalTourism.com -- top-ranking website for medical travel -- to feature more user-friendly automated Global Patient Management System™

Palm Beach Gardens, FL, April 03, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The Medical Tourism Association® announced the redesign and re-launch of www.MedicalTourism.com – the top-ranking website for medical travel – to include a more user-friendly range of services for healthcare providers and medical tourism industry stakeholders interested in identifying, attracting and converting patients into long-term customers.

“Increasing patient streams is the goal of virtually all healthcare providers and the competition for added volume is driving hospital administrators, doctors, clinicians and related medical tourism facilitators to think beyond their expertise,” said Renée-Marie Stephano, president of the Medical Tourism Association®. “MedicalTourism.com simplifies the approaches for healthcare providers as well as multinational employers, insurance companies and governments looking to make health connections overseas and, instead, allows them to concentrate on what they do best.”

A Global Patient Management System™, administered by Health Flights Solutions® (http://www.healthflightssolutions.com/), automates the medical travel process from the MedicalTourism.com (https://www.MedicalTourism.com/) platform of hospitals, clinics and hospitality and travel providers; thereby, allowing would-be healthcare consumers in all parts of the world the opportunity to take advantage of the fingertip access to services and procedures from dental and orthopedic surgeries to cardiovascular and cancer treatments. The GPMS system is in compliance with strict U.S. HIPAA and European SOPA standards to protect the privacy of the health and wellness seekers.

“Our mission is simple: to significantly increase consumer awareness of medical travel and provide healthcare providers with more patient leads,” said Anuja Agrawal, President of HFS, a global enterprise offering solutions for healthcare providers, insurance companies, multinational employers, governments and medical tourism facilitators.

“Research suggests that both patients and caregivers already rely on the internet to have their health questions asked and answered,” said Stephano. “Coupled with the fact that more patients are looking for affordable treatment options beyond their local neighborhoods, MedicalTourism.com makes the healthcare consumer a partner in the process. The website provides a much-needed avenue to support patient engagement for evaluating costs, services and standards against competitive destinations to ensure that medical travel works for all.”

The Medical Tourism Association® is host to the world’s largest medical tourism event: The 8th annual World Medical Tourism & Global Healthcare Congress, Sept. 27-30, 2015, in Orlando, Fla. Participants, sponsors and invited speakers can keep abreast of Congress updates at www.MedicalTourismCongress.com. The association’s business-to-business educational platform regarding all industry information and up-to-date news can be found at www.MedicalTourismMagazine.com and social network at www.MedicalTourismCity.com
