Did you know that 65% percent of serious medical mistakes occur because of doctor communication breakdowns? How would patient care improve if physicians were able to communicate quicker, easier, and more securely?
?Doximity was built from the ground up to address these questions. Available for free on Web, iPhone and Android, Doximity enables doctors to connect with each other and communicate vital information within an exclusive, private network.
With 6% of US physicians and growing, Doximity is the largest real-name and physician-only network. New members are verified via a 3-step credential check to maintain patient and provider privacy. After claiming their profile, physicians can locate specialists, send HIPAA compliant text messages, exchange private contact information, send faxes directly from their smartphones, and even connect with former classmates and residents.
One of the most powerful aspects of Doximity is its comprehensive physician profiles. Doximity’s extensive data provides precise information to direct doctors to the correct referral. For instance, if a physician is looking for a doctor who has experience treating an abdominal aortic aneurysm, lives in California and speaks Spanish, a physician member can type those three key words into Doximity’s search bar to find the right match for their patient.
Here’s an example of a Doximity profile that meets those search terms. One can see Dr. Thomas Schneider’s training, his clinical areas of interest, specialty, languages spoken and publications appended from PubMed. Doximity is the only network that has combined such valuable information into cohesive profiles. Physicians using Doximity save time during their busy day by accessing a rich directory right at their fingertips for more information about Thomas Schneider MD visit doximity.com.
