Willington-based One Medical Passport Inc., a provider of cloud-based perioperative medical software, announced this week that it has closed a $4 million Series A investment from FCA Venture Partners, a Nashville-based venture capital firm focused on healthcare IT.
More than 2 million patients and 700 medical facilities throughout the U.S. use One Medical Passport’s online software annually and its customers include many of the top healthcare management companies, according to a news release.
The software assists patient involvement in their own care before, during and after surgery and medical procedures and aims to improve the communication and collaboration between patients, doctors, and medical facilities, the release said.
The new funding will be used to fuel the company’s growth plans as it continues to build out its software suite and finishes development of its comprehensive patient-engagement products.
Formerly known as Medical Web Technologies LLC, One Medical Passport said it pioneered the concept that the Internet could be used to improve inefficient healthcare processes that were still largely performed by phone calls, faxes, and pen and paper.
Founded in 2000 by Dr. Stephen Punzak, an anesthesiologist, the company initially focused on the pre-admission process. The core software was designed as a patient-friendly, cloud-based program that guides patients through the process of providing their own pre-admission health histories as well as insurance and demographic information.
Over the years, the company continued to build out its cloud-based software and partnered with medical information system companies to integrate its software into their applications.
