Healthy Canadian meets the increasing demand from physicians and patients searching for accurate medical information and resources. The company helps meet the changing and dynamic needs of today’s medical community.

This Content Managed website is powered by WriteNowtm, MOSHEN MEDIA’s Content Management Solution. Toronto based MOSHEN MEDIA worked with Healthy Canadian Media to develop an interface with three major focal points:

Private Network TV โ€” HCN combines closed circuit television and digital computer technology to deliver educational health content to patients over its PatientDirect TV network, in a looped format, repeating every 20 to 30 minutes. Patients sitting in waiting areas will be exposed to up-to-date health information, health hints, FAQ’s and news/weather updates on a large screen TV.

Practice Management โ€” Healthcare providers have the opportunity to join HCN’s PracticeMAXX, an affinity program and buy-group for health professionals, dedicated to decreasing office costs, while increasing office efficiencies. HCN Consulting provides practice management solutions to individual healthcare professionals as well as healthcare organizations.

Consumer Health โ€” This portion of the website provides a personal health record, healthy recipes, health tips, and frequently asked questions that help further inform patients and prepare them to get the most out of their doctor visits. By providing information to physicians and patients, Healthy Canadian Network hopes to continue to fulfill its role as a partner in the medical community.

โ€œThe use of the Internet for health information is increasing dramatically,โ€ notes Dr. Don Wilson, president of Healthy Canadian Media Group. โ€œBut the small type, low contrast, and difficulty in navigating around many sites have been obstacles for many people.

www.healthycanadian.com corrects many of those problems, and provides current and accurate health information.โ€

“The most important element of prevention is knowledge,” says HCN President, Dr. Don Wilson. “A patient armed with accurate and scientific-based information is a better health care partner.”

The website also provides forums for those working with HCN or in the field of health communication, advocacy, and community mobilization to share and learn from other similar programs.

โ€œThe new website addresses the needs of consumers hungry for health information they can find quickly and easily. The new HCN website strikes a distinct chord for “user-friendliness,โ€ says Terry Moshenberg, MOSHEN MEDIA’s Lead Strategist. โ€œIt’s easy to read, easy to navigate and loads quickly.โ€

The website’s content is updated on a day-to-day basis by HCN themselves using the WriteNow Content Management Solution, a system that allows non-technical people to manage website content as easily as using MS Word. WriteNow CMS ensures HCN can manage their site in a timely fashion provide the most relevant and up-to-date information available.
