Phytel Recognized as One of the 100 Best Places to Work

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Phytel, a quality improvement company that helps physicians provide optimal preventive and chronic-disease care, has been recognized as one of the 100 best places to work in the Dallas/Forth Worth area. The Dallas Morning News bases its ranking on an employee survey that measures qualities such as company leadership, compensation and training, workplace flexibility, and diversity.

Phytel, which has over 85 employees, has recently expanded to its new facility at 11511 Luna Rd. and has been in Dallas since 1996. Its main product, used by leading physician practices all over the country, creates an electronic “registry” of patients who need preventive care and/or chronic disease services. Phytel applies nationally recognized clinical guidelines to these registries, triggering outbound communications that tell patients when it is time to see their physicians. Patients benefit by receiving recommended care at appropriate intervals.

Steve Schelhammer, CEO of Phytel, said, “I am delighted that Phytel has been chosen as one of the Top 100 Places to Work in Dallas/Fort Worth. We have a strategy to continually develop our employees’ skills and capabilities and to create a corporate environment that is conducive to the success of our team.
