HealthLynked (OTCQB:HLYK) Corp told investors it has made upgrades to its cloud-based platform HealthLynked Network, which has included adding a Practice Directory.
This allows patients to search for medical practices near them while, in turn, the practices can then claim their HealthLynked Network listing to manage their office profile and link providers who work at that location so patients can share medical records, book appointments, and check-in.
HealthLynked's new Practice Directory now includes over 18,000 obstretrician- gynecologists (OBGYN) offices and over 30,000 Primary Care office listings throughout the US. The firm said it plans to add every medical practice nationwide by the end of August 2022.
"With the addition of practice profiles to our healthcare directory, patient members can now more efficiently make appointments and share medical information," said Dr Michael Dent, HealthLynked CEO in a statement.

"The expansion of our directory to include medical practices and practice management functionality is a natural progression in how the HealthLynked Network helps patients connect to healthcare providers," he added.
HealthLynked said it had also expanded services for HealthLynked Network patients via its CareLynk Patient Concierge program, which provides patients assistance with booking appointments and completing online medical profile. The service is available to users Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5pm EST by calling 800-562-9267.
The company has also upgraded its online and in-app Provider Directory search to show improved results for its 800,000 healthcare providers, it revealed.
Dent noted: "I am excited by the growth in our network of patient support services, allowing HealthLynked to better guide patient members and help them more efficiently navigate an increasingly complex healthcare system."
