Why
has HTH chosen to incorporate internet technologies into its operations?
The
internet has emerged as the international standard in interactive
communication. It is a fast, inexpensive and secure way to transmit
detailed information across countries and time zones in a structured
way. The internet has become essential to businesses worldwide, and
healthcare organizations are also recognizing its advantages. Physicians,
dentists, and other healthcare professionals are using the internet
to conduct email discussions with colleagues and to access literature
searches and other valuable services. Many physician and dentist practices
are putting up their own web pages to advertise themselves and attract
new patients.
It is not necessary to be an internet user to participate as an HTH
provider. While we expect that internet technology will be important
to healthcare delivery in the future, through our customer service
center we will work with providers who have not yet embraced the use
of the internet in their practices.
Of course, Members also do not need to be internet users to take advantage
of HTH's products and services. HTH offers toll-free telephone access to all its customers.
