Using the platform’s innovative family dashboard and mobile app, parents can import, aggregate and share important documents—such as health insurance, immunization records, report cards, and activity forms—on their smart phone, tablet or desktop. The new KidsLink mobile application provides parents a tool to capture and store hard-copy documents for easy future access, all with their smartphone’s camera. In Rock Hill, KidsLink provides local users quick access to PMC’s patient portal to access their medical and billing records. Parents will also receive alerts regarding community healthcare events, tailored health awareness updates—such as flu shot availability—and schedules for wellness classes and support groups open to the public. “We created KidsLink, in part, to streamline paperwork management and help parents connect with their children’s healthcare providers and community organizations in a more meaningful way,” says Chris Morocco, CEO of KidsLink. “The PMC partnership realizes what we’ve always envisioned: utilizing the latest technology as a starting point to guide parents through managing their family’s life in the 21st century.” Specifically designed for busy parents, KidsLink is particularly beneficial to new moms by providing a central, curated set of tools that walks parents through the process of tracking documents, milestones, memories, and wellness for their babies and young children. It will debut its mobile app and sync with PMC’s network October 20, 2013. “A baby’s birth is a milestone we are proud to be a part of here at PMC,” says Bill Masterton, CEO of Piedmont Medical Center. “KidsLink allows us to stay connected with that family over time and remain easily accessible if a medical need arises. It also provides a channel for us to communicate important and valuable content with them.” ###

Today, KidsLink officially concluded its first season as the choice provider of preschool registration and data exchange services. With KidsLink’s service, youth organizations can administer both their entire application process and their ongoing management of forms throughout the year.  KidsLink allows administrators to manage by exception, focusing efforts on registrants that may need assistance. From a parent’s perspective, “This also serves as a sea-change for the future of family document management, the ‘beginning of the end’ for obsolete paper-based registration,” noted KidsLink CEO Chris Morocco. According to Peachtree Presbyterian Preschool Communications Director Beth Copeland, “We have been searching for a way to consolidate and simplify the admission process and eliminate paperwork for both the parents and the Preschool.  KidsLink provides the tool to efficiently coordinate registration and student record forms. “Parents have been enthusiastic about the new online registration, and the support we’ve received from KidsLink has made the conversion seamless.  After the success of our registration process, we’re really looking forward to having KidsLink help us with our data management throughout the school year.” Stated KidsLink’s co-founder Scott Powers, “Peachtree Presbyterian Preschool has been a perfect partner for us.  We’ve learned so much from them and look forward to continue helping their staff and parents throughout their school year.” Looking to the future, CEO Morocco said, “In the coming years, moms and dads will never again have to juggle hundreds of paper forms and documents just to manage their kids’ lives.  Instead, it’ll all be contained in one app on their computers or mobile phones.”
