1.Wisonsin health IT firm MyheatlhDIRECT,a web-based access management system that helps people get healthcare appointments within a network or a community, is raising $3.4 million, according to a regulatory filing.
据一份管理文件透露，威斯康辛州健康医疗机构MyheatlhDIRECT----一个基于网络访问的健康管理系统，再注资340万美元改善其健康服务，它设立的目的是帮助人们通过网络或社区来获得医疗保健预约。

2.The company, founded in 2005, calls itself a health scheduling exchange and has a browser-based software that can organize and book available appointments in the community into a “searchable and schedulable inventory of healthcare services.”
这家公司，成立于2005年，自称是健康调理互助中心，并且还有基于浏览功能的软件进行识别和预定来自社区的有效预约，然后将这些信息存进一个“可搜索和可调度的医疗保健服务的网盘中”。

3.The filing shows that MyhealthDIRECT has already raised $2.4 million. Last April the company raised $4 million with investments from Arboretum Ventures and Chrysalis Ventures, addition to a $4.9 million in raised in a Series A round of investment
这份文件显示了MyhealthDIRECT已经投入了240万美元。去年四月份此公司就在植物园企业和蛹企业投资了400美元，在新一轮投资中又投入了490万美元。

4.Last April, Jay Mason, the company’s CEO said the company’s application provides operational and financial efficiency for hospitals as well as managed care plans.
去年四月份，这家公司的CEO Jay Mason说他们的公司的应用程序为医院提高了业务和金融效率，同时也提供了管理式的医疗计划。

5.And it appears that in the past year, MyHealthDIRECT has made some important inroads in this direction. Mason and other executives at the company could not be reached because they were traveling Friday, but the company’s website documents how the company is working with hospitals and insurance companies.
同时它（文件）也显示了去年 MyHealthDIRECT 就在这个方向上有了一些很大的损失。Mason 和公司的其他一些高管都联系不上，因为他们周五去度假了。但是该公司网站上记载了当时他们是怎样和医院和保险公司进行合作的。

6.For instance, when UnitedHealth Group’s Optum division announced the creation of a new healthcare cloud, MyHealthDIRECT was tapped as one of the vendors providing their applications and services to improve the quality of healthcare.
例如，当时联合健康集团的Optum部门宣称要创建一个新的云医疗， MyHealthDIRECT被选择作为供应商之一来提供给他们应用程序和服务以改善医疗保健服务的质量。

7.And the company is working with other healthcare industry players such as independent physicians’ associations – Regal Medical Group in California; hospitals – Baptist Hospital in Tennessee, and even state government -Milwaukee Health Care Partnership (Partnership) and Wisconsin Health Information Exchange (WHIE), for whom the company manages appointments for poor and uninsured residents.

这家公司也和其他的医疗卫生行业伙伴例如独立医师协会---位于加利福尼亚的Regal医疗集团进行合作；还有一些医院如位于田纳西州的Baptist医院，甚至是国家政府---Milwaukee 卫生保健合伙企业和威斯康辛州的医疗信息交换中心，这家公司帮助这些企业为穷人和没有保险的居民管理预约。
