Credentials

 James Loynes, M.D., is the Chief Content Director and  co-developer of Flash-Med.com. The website was established in 2000 to teach medical students through the use of electronic flash cards. The site now has over 19,000 members and serves over 1.5 million pages a month.

After witnessing how the medical community embraced technology, Dr. Loynes developed Chart-MD., a web based approach to improve patient care by involving patients in their medical decisions. The technology optimizes physician efficiency while documenting and communicating information to patients. Chart-MD provides the tools that allow patients to work with their physicians to become engaged participants in their health care. Since its inception, Chart-MD has evolved into an easy to use, efficient and powerful resource. Chart-MD is group of web sites utilizing the latest technology to serve as a platform through which patients can take an active role in their medical care. Dr. Loynes believes that health care can be improved by taking a patient-centered approach. He designed these resources to be efficient for the physician to provide improved patient care through improved communication and documentation without unreasonable cost or significantly increased work for the physician. Some serve as a platform through which patients can take an active role in their medical care and serve as their own advocates, while others allow physicians to use inexpensive technologies to improve healthcare processes. Dr. Loynes continues to enhance each site to create value for all users.
