MD-direct Launches Online Caregiver Tools |

Kirkland, WA -- Citing an aging population, shifts in the traditional roles of children caring directly for aging parents and a continuing trend to avoid the expense of nursing home care MD-direct launched its on line caregive r tools suite.
"Children of aging parents in the past found themselves in the role of caregiver" said MD-direct President Aaron Chapman "more and more they find themselves in the role of care coordinator. From another city or another state they might ov ersee a part-time caregiver in an effort to save the expense of a nursing home or preserve some measure of independence for their aging parents."
MD-direct's caregiver tools suite gives patients, caregivers and parents the ability to completely manage supply delivery for home care needs. Caregiver tools allows users to set up flexible automatic orders, create account balances for on-site car egivers and print invoices for insurance billing and taxes from their own secure control panel at www.MDdirectonline.com.
"It's a unique system and I think baby boomers are going to take full advantage" says Chapman, "Just for registering a customer can have access to these tools and for them it could mean the difference between effectively coordinating care for their loved ones or the unfortunate and costly alternative of a nursing home."
