Formedic Introduces MedEfficio An Interactive Pre-Visit Questionnaire-Forging a Stronger Patient-Doctor Relationship

SOMERSET, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Formedic, a leader in customized patient forms for the medical industry,
introduces MedEfficio (www.Medefficio.com). MedEfficio is a free, easy to use
point-and-click, interactive health history questionnaire for patients to
complete before their next doctor`s visit. The completed questionnaire enhances
the time patients spend with their doctor.

Written in easy-to-understand language, patients respond to questions about why
they are visiting their doctor. Patients can access MedEfficio from home,
office, or other convenient location via a secure website (www.Medefficio.com).
The MedEfficio questions are based on the type of physician being seen and the
reason for the office visit. After the questionnaire is completed, a report is
generated for the patient that includes a section of health messaging on
anything from questions to ask their doctor to how to manage their condition.
The last section of the report is for the doctor where the information provided
by the patient is translated into familiar medical terminology.

Patients have the option to provide the report to their physician via email, by
printing a copy, or uploading the report to their personal health record (PHR).
No information is stored by MedEfficio which allows the patient to retain
control of their completed questionnaire.

"We are excited to announce MedEfficio," stated Amy Cesario, Manager,
e-Marketing & Communications. "Formedic has been a valuable asset to physicians
for close to thirty years, and with MedEfficio we are now giving patients the
tools they need to take an active role in their healthcare. MedEfficio answers
the needs of a growing patient population who want to manage their health by
using online resources, while providing the doctors with a complete health
history report of the patient. Studies have shown that patients are more likely
to fully complete an interactive online health questionnaire than a traditional
paper one. MedEfficio increases the satisfaction levels of both the physician
and patient during the visit."

MedEfficio was developed with input from a variety of healthcare providers,
including physicians affiliated with the most prestigious medical institutions.
Over 25,000 symptoms, and over 6,000 condition-specific questionnaires and 50
standardized rating scales are incorporated into the system. MedEfficio can be
utilized for any type of office visit including regular visits, chronic disease
visits and when seeing a new doctor for the first time.
