By: Emma E. ChiuThe everett clinics that are popping up around the country are helping patients with their health issues, but many patients have found it difficult to get an accurate picture of what their doctors prescribe.
The problem, says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is that there’s no standardized list of medications and supplements that are approved for the treatment of many diseases.
Instead, patients are left to find what works best for them.
The solution?
A new app called Everett Medication, a website that lets patients find the best medications and treatments for their condition.
The app, launched in early May by the everett doctors organization, is the latest initiative by the nonprofit group to help patients make better decisions.
In just a few months, the app has become a viral sensation with nearly 10 million downloads.
“We’re trying to get more people on our app, and we’re hoping to get some of the first patients on the app,” said Dr. Brian E. Bouchard, an associate professor of medicine at the U of T Medical School.
“It’s going to be a really important piece in helping people make better health decisions.”
For patients with conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity, the process of figuring out what’s best for their disease can be daunting.
Everett’s new app is a useful tool that helps patients find their options and makes it easier for them to make an informed choice about which medication to take.
“There’s no set standard for what’s a good medication and what’s not, and there are many different treatments out there,” said Everett Medical Director John V. Kravitz.
“So for the patient to know what works for them, we have to make sure we’ve got a great tool.”
“The app is great for doctors because they know they have a tool that can be used to help them, not just for themselves, but for their patients,” said Bouchad.
The app is not intended for patients with chronic conditions.
“I think the best compliment I can give is not to say how much your programs have taught me (a ton), but how much Marketplace has motivated me to go out and teach myself.”
The app was designed to be easy for patients to use, and the site features charts and videos that are easy to understand.
The website has information on how to find your doctors, as well as a guide on how the app works.
For a list of available treatments, patients can search for the brand name of the product.
The website also includes a tool to help users find out what their doctor recommended on the Everett Clinic website, which includes the price of each treatment.
For those who do not have a medical condition or who want to find the most effective medication for their health, the website also provides a tool for patients that shows them what medications they need to take, when they need them, and what dosages they need.
It also includes charts and graphs of how many patients and treatments are taking the drug.
The goal is to make it easier to make informed decisions about what’s right for your condition.
