Boston, MA—(April 14, 2004) NorthPoint Domain Inc., a worldwide developer and seller of Internet-based software products that link medical information services to clinical therapy at the point of care, is pleased to announce a new line of Practice Accelerator offerings suitable for medical specialty practices of all sizes. NorthPoint Domain currently serves four medical specialty markets: Cardiology, Urology, Vascular, and Neuroscience. The company now offers a fully comprehensive suite of products and services designed to help medical specialty practices improve their practice development programs, patient services, patient communications, and internal operations.

"Limited health literacy accompanied by the arcane language of specialty-specific physicians often results in patient’s limited understanding of medical terms, what’s wrong with them, and what their choices are for treatments," said Peter M. Nicholas, Jr. Chairman and CEO of NorthPoint Domain. "Our new Accelerator suites are designed to address patients’ ever-increasing needs for further electronic services that accelerate patient literacy, foster increased physician-patient communication at the point of care, and increase the awareness of practice resources among all constituents of the medical specialty practice."

NorthPoint Domain Practice Accelerator Suites are designed to answer the call of ever-increasing patient needs through Internet-based software products and services, including specialty-specific patient education, a comprehensive health and wellness library, password-protected services, electronic newsletters, secure messaging, and customizable practice websites. All NorthPoint Domain products are HIPAA compliant.

NorthPoint Domain now offers customers a selection of five Practice Accelerator Suites and five stand-alone products, in addition to a wide range of Professional Services. NorthPoint Domain’s Practice Accelerator Suites include:

Practice Accelerator PX – a comprehensive product offering that includes a customizable web presence, specialty-specific patient education, a comprehensive health and wellness library, a tool for creating branded electronic newsletters, and the ability for patients to communicate securely with the practice;

Practice Accelerator SX – a product offering for smaller medical practices (up to five physicians), including a web presence, specialty-specific patient education, a comprehensive health and wellness library, a tool for creating branded electronic newsletters, and the ability for patients to communicate securely with the practice;

Practice Accelerator NX – a product suite for medical specialty practices outside of NorthPoint Domain’s core specialties, Cardiology, Vascular, and Urology, or for practices that do not need specialty-specific patient education. The Practice Accelerator NX includes a customizable web presence, a tool for creating branded electronic newsletters, and the ability for patients to communicate securely with the practice;

Practice Accelerator EX – for current NorthPoint Domain customers who want to further enhance their online presence with specialty-specific patient education, a comprehensive health and wellness library, a tool for creating branded electronic newsletters, and the ability for patients to communicate securely with the practice; and

Practice Accelerator CX – for medical specialty practices who already have websites and want to further enhance their online presence with specialty-specific patient education, a comprehensive health and wellness library, and a tool for creating branded electronic newsletters.

NorthPoint Domain products can also be purchased as stand-alone offerings. NorthPoint Domain stand-alone products include:

Practice Website Application (PWA) Plus – This powerful application extends a practice’s reach and visibility, providing up-to-date information about the practice to patients, the referral network, and the community at large. The services and functionality available with PWA Plus allow practices to fully and uniquely promote their services, areas of expertise, staff, research initiatives, community programs, patient education initiatives, and any other areas of focus for the practice;

PWA Starter – The PWA Starter is ideal for smaller medical practices (up to five physicians) that are looking for a simple, yet effective and professional, web presence;

Constellation – With Constellation, a practice can send updates and real-time news to colleagues, the referring network, patients, insurers, and the community that it serves through branded, electronic newsletters;

Secure Messaging Center (SMC) – SMC allows patients to interact with their practice electronically. With SMC, patients can request appointments and prescription refills and send non-urgent questions to the practice; and

Physician Extender Software – NorthPoint Domain’s Physician Extender Software allows physicians and staff to prescribe up-to-date patient-focused medical education articles on specific conditions, diagnostic tests, and treatment options.
