ePhysical™ administers and schedules employee physical exams with completely paperless procedures. From the patient-history questionnaire through the exam and physician review, the process is completely digital. This approach allows employee physical exams to be managed centrally no matter where the exam occurs, permitting the consistent application of company and regulatory standards and continual review of the medical examination process.
