MDsyncNET.com, a web-based medical staff communication solution with on-call scheduling. MDsyncNET.com is the flagship product of MobileKnowledge, Inc., a company founded in 2001 with a single-minded mission: to deliver world-class technology that solves real-world problems. We built the earliest version of MDsyncNET for a regional medical center in Indiana that needed to facilitate communication among administrators, practitioners, and other staff members. We quickly realized that the communication challenges they experienced by relying on paper, ink, phone, and fax were shared by healthcare organizations across the country. After conducting countless hours of research and hundreds of interviews with medical staff service professionals, physician leaders, and hospital administrators, we evolved MDsyncNET to further streamline medical staff communication and increase productivity. Our commitment to ensuring that communication is on time, every time, continues to this day. Our MDsyncNET team has its finger on the pulse of the changing healthcare landscape. We understand the need to improve business process efficiencies in the value-based care environment, and pledge to continue to work at the leading edge of information technology to forge groundbreaking paths in healthcare communications.
