Dr. Giovanni Baula

Giovanni Baula, M.D., an internist at Suncoast Medical Clinic says the challenge is hypertension does not have symptoms, so when patients start on a medication and feel worse, they are not inclined to stay on it.

Replace existing pharma offered site, remote telemedicine

Dr. Baula is an Internal Medicine physician in a large group practice in St. Petersburg, Fl.He just re-located from Texas.Dr. Baula had two main reasons for developing a Virtual Office with Medfusion.First he saw it as a way to stay in touch with his patients in the small town of Wellington, TX from where he recently moved.Dr. Baula was one of the only practicing primary care physicians in Wellington, and had a loyal following of patients there.When family obligations forced him to move to Florida, Dr. Baula didn't want to leave his patients behind.By setting up a Medfusion Virtual Office, Dr. Baula's patients in Wellington always have access to his care for non-urgent conditions.Because Dr. Baula travels back to Wellington to help in his former clinic, he continues a good relationship with his patients and they, in turn appreciate access to him via a secure Internet connection.

The second reason Dr. Baula wanted to set up a Virtual Office with Medfusion is because he had been given his own website by Schering-Plough - the pharmaceutical company that makes the allergy drug, Claritin.Dr. Baula had been one of the top Claritin prescribers in Texas.Dr. Baula liked the idea of having his own site where he could send his patients, but was unhappy with the fact that the content on the site was very limited and he could not change it or put his own desired links there.The advantages he saw in having his own Medfusion site was that he could have his own URL - www.drbaula.com - that was easy to send his patients to - and that he had control over the content of the site.In addition, because the Medfusion Virtual Office has the Care Template for Claritin, he can easily refer his allergy patients online for RX refills and episodic care for their seasonal allergies.

Couldn't get changes from local web developer

CMH put out a bid for a new website because they couldn't get the local company that built their first site to update it fast enough for them.
