BKD Launches Android App for Health Care Practice

BKD LLP has introduced a mobile app version of its Web site, HealthCareReformInsights.com, showcasing the accounting firm’s health care consulting practice for Android phone users.

The firm launched HealthCareReformInsights.com in June 2010, and released a free mobile phone application for Android devices on Tuesday (see CPA Firm BKD Launches Health Care Reform Site).

BKD has taken many of the most useful features of its industry-specific Web site and made them accessible for health care executives on the go. The app provides convenient access to articles authored by the advisors at the BKD National Health Care Group, categorized by industry subniche. Nearly 200 experts are accessible through the mobile app. App users can view contacts, read their biographical information and instantly email them for more information. 

Users also have the ability to register for upcoming webinars or view archived webinars right from their smartphones. The new app also leverages the growing world of social media, as users can share articles via Twitter, Facebook or email.

“BKD is always looking at new ways for our industry leaders to share their expertise,” said Eddie Marmouget, national industry partner for the BKD National Health Care Group. “With the constantly changing landscape of health care regulations, providers need new ways to stay up to date. This new app offers that potential.”

Health care providers looking to stay informed with guidance from BKD National Health Care Group can download the free app at the Android Market. An iPhone version will be available in the near future, pending completion of the Apple approval process.
