Axium Healthcare Pharmacy Introduces a Spanish Version of its Patient Portal at AxiumPortal.com
Lake Mary, FL (May 5th, 2011) - Axium Healthcare Pharmacy, a leader in specialty and compounding pharmacy, introduced a fully translated Spanish version of its patient Web portal earlier this week.
- Atlanta, GA (1888PressRelease) May 06, 2011 - Axium has substantial business in Puerto Rico and considering the latest 2010 census data, this is a major step to improve quality of care for patients.
"A significant portion of our business consists of Spanish-speaking patients so we must be able to communicate effectively with those patients in a manner that they prefer whether it's over the phone or via the Web on a computer or mobile device," commented Mark Montgomery, President and Chief Executive Officer.
The 2010 Census data clearly validates that Hispanic growth within the United States is continuing to increase at a rate greater than any other demographic. The Hispanic population has contributed to more than half of the growth over the last 10 years in the U.S. and will continue to be an important focus for Axium. The patient portal was designed with growth and multi-lanaguage capabilites because approximately 15% of the population is Hispanic and Axium has substantial pharmacy operations in Puerto Rico.
"We have always identified and collected the primary language preference of our patients," said Mr. Montgomery. "Language preference is now something we have fully integrated into the online patient portal, but the user still has a choice of English or Spanish and we also look at browser language preferences to ensure we deliver the appropriate content to the user for current and future visits to the site."
AxiumPortal.com has been professionally translated to the natural, spoken language. Every prompt, button, link, and error message have been addressed to provide a complete Spanish experience to the end user. Effective patient communication ultimately produces increased patient quality of care and satisfaction.
