LANSING, Mich.— Physicians Health Plan of Mid-Michigan -- www.phpmm.org -- wanted an online directory with a more professional look, faster search result and data that could be updated and changed more often by internal staff.

Lansing-based Web development company i2Integration helped the company migrate to a new database system and integrate its data with a new user-friendly and efficient online provider directory -- http://providers.phpmm.org/.

Key features of the new system are:

• Search pages for doctors, facilities and pharmacies.
• Dynamic layout for each search page.
  
• Dynamic search criteria for each search page.
  
• Dynamic lists for search criteria (i.e. city, county, languages and more).
  
• Secure FTP and online data import options.
  
• Ability to update physician information between imports.
  
• FAST and reliable search results.
  

The new system allows PHPMM to manage internally all aspects of its provider directory, without relying on outsourcing or coding -- a big step forward over the previous system, which relied on outdated technology and did not allow PHPMM to efficiently manage the Web site’s data, look or search criteria.

i2Integration CEO John Forsberg called it “a much cleaner, faster and more dynamic system.”

“The new system dramatically increases the speed of the provider search, something that I myself used as a PHP customer and found frustrating,” he said. “It also allows staff to go in and make changes to the search criteria and other areas without relying on outsourced developers, like us, which is going to save them money down the road.”

i2Integration was started in 1994 and is a premier provider of web and IT solutions, including custom web development, IT support and multimedia production for clients in the healthcare, corporate, non-profit, government and business-to-business sectors.
