In response to the growing statistics on mobile health information access, as well as the soaring number of smartphone users, the new iTriage integration launched in December creating a one-stop, consumer healthcare experience (app and website) that lets patients quickly and easily search for information about a medical condition, find nearby facilities, and check-in for a visit at a Fast Track Urgent Care prior to arrival.

The iTriage app lets patients instantly connect with Fast Track Urgent Care and access clinic details including hours, services provided and directions. In addition, patients can use iTriage to check in prior to arrival, alerting staff of their impending visit.

iTriage also provides users with information about:

•     Symptoms
