Company ProfilebetterMD.net is a value added reseller (VAR) of meal replacement products to medically supervised obesity patients. We provide the products, patient education and the long-term support required to effectively treat obesity as a chronic disease. We enhance obesity treatment outcomes by providing individualized patient education, engineered nutritional products, lifestyle training support and 24/7 communication via telephone and a proprietary Internet platform (vCAT). We use vCAT to administer the patient/physician health risk assessments used to determine practical, researched-based treatment options.The vCAT application is based on over 17 years of clinical experience, published research and NIH and ACP guidelines for the treatment of obesity. The process utilizes patient feedback to optimize treatment while providing a monitoring system that validates patient compliance. betterMD.net combines case management with primary care, improving long-term medical outcomes. This disease management model improves clinical results, while reducing the cost of providing care. Obesity is a chronic disease affecting millions of Americans and threatening to become the leading contributor to morbidity in the next century. The ravages of Hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Disease all persist beneath a shroud of obesity. Long-term weight management is the distinct common therapy that can reduce these ravages and improve the lives of millions. Unfortunately, weight management efforts are difficult and frustrating for both patients and doctors. Current therapies depend upon comprehensive use of diet, exercise, lifestyle change and medications for long-term success. Programs that put these pieces together for patients are significantly more successful than non-scientific approaches. Regrettably, these programs can be very localized, expensive to operate, and unavailable to much of the obese population. betterMD.net is changing that by combining comprehensive weight management treatment with wide spread patient access... a new model. betterMD.net links weight management programs and gateway physicians, trained to treat obesity, with other support professionals to deliver all the treatment elements necessary for long-term success. Patients are provided the dietary, exercise and behavioral counseling, as well as educational and support resources, when and where they need it. Interactive Internet modules are linked to extensive clinical documentation, assuring patients and providers that no critical treatment elements are overlooked. Healthcare providers monitor patient progress through the vCAT provider system. Medications and high-protein meal replacements, when required, are strategically matched to individual patients' treatment plans. betterMD.net uses the latest communication technologies to unite patients with primary care physicians and support specialists in order to provide appropriate treatment and enhance long-term success. betterMD.net embodies the new standard of care necessary for delivering the highest quality, lowest cost comprehensive weight management services to the millions suffering from obesity... while offering patients access to individualized clinical weight management where none now exists. betterMD.net's integrated compliance monitoring and interactive patient sharing system is soon to become the new treatment standard for obesity care. Mission StatementbetterMD.net's corporate mission is to revolutionize obesity treatment and increase long-term weight management success.betterMD.net connects healthcare professionals with their weight management patients. By using betterMD.net's virtual clinical application tool (vCAT), providers can better supervise their patients' weight loss treatment, ensure "standards-of-care" are being met, and enhance program compliance, which ultimately leads to better long-term outcomes. betterMD.net goals:
