BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kyruus, a leader in provider search and scheduling solutions for health systems, today announced that Geisinger, one of the nation’s largest integrated health services organizations, is now utilizing ProviderMatch for Consumers on its website to help patients find the right providers across the Geisinger network. Built on the KyruusOne™ provider data management platform, the new solution is helping Geisinger deliver a modern online experience that makes it simple for consumers to hone in on providers matching their unique, multi-faceted search criteria.
When looking for a new consumer-facing solution, Geisinger prioritized finding one that could not only deliver a more dynamic digital experience, but also robust data management capabilities to make it easier to maintain – and ultimately publish – detailed, up-to-date provider information. By centralizing this data in KyruusOne, Geisinger has both streamlined processes and gained new visibility into its network across both employed and affiliate providers. The robust provider directory provides insights into providers’ clinical areas of focus down to the conditions they treat and procedures they perform. With this data powering ProviderMatch, Geisinger is now able to offer consumers the ability to search for providers based on their specific needs.
“We know that healthcare consumers today are increasingly proactive in taking control of their health and accessing care, and are searching online for physicians and other providers who not only meet their clinical needs, but also are convenient and relatable,” said Don Stanziano, Chief Marketing Officer at Geisinger. “With Kyruus, we’ve been able to make our provider network easily searchable in a user-friendly experience on Geisinger.org. Perhaps more importantly, the data we will gather through the Kyruus tool will give us the insight we need to continue to improve the consumer experience and support our marketing growth goals.”
In addition to delivering a modern and consumer-friendly search experience, ProviderMatch for Consumers also integrates with underlying practice management systems - facilitating seamless and convenient self-service scheduling. Online scheduling is a critical piece of Geisinger's vision as it further advances digital patient access.
“Geisinger has earned its reputation as a pioneer by prioritizing innovation aimed at improving both patient care outcomes and the overall patient experience,” said Graham Gardner, CEO of Kyruus. “It is extremely rewarding to support the Geisinger team as they bring a new level of digital access to their communities.”
