DocNetwork is an electronic health record system for camps, child care and schools, based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The DocNetwork includes CampDoc.com, ChildCareDoc.com and SchoolDoc.com.

History

Michael Ambrose began developing the concept for DocNetwork in 2002, while working as a medical clinic assistant at Tamarack Camps in Ortonville, Michigan.[1] In 2009, while attending the University of Michigan Medical School, Michael launched CampDoc.com, now being used by over 200 summer camps throughout the United States and Canada. CampDoc.com is used by special needs and medical camps, adventure, tripping and sports camps.[2]

Markel Insurance

CampDoc.com partnered with Markel Corporation, a leading insurer of summer camps, non-profit social service agencies, child care centers, youth recreation centers and private schools in February 2012.[3] Markel Insurance played an active role in the American Camp Association Healthy Camp Study, a five-year surveillance project to benchmark camp-related injury and illness in U.S. camps. CampDoc.com continues to work with Markel and the American Camp Association to explore the intersections of technology, camp health care, and professional development. In September 2013, CampDoc.com announced that they will continue working together to help camps reduce risk and improve safety through the pre-packaged medication service now being offered to summer camps.[4]

Pre-Packaged Medications

In June 2013, DocNetwork aligned with Pharmacy Plus Network, a provider of pharmacy and medication services to offer pre-packaged medications to summer camps.[5] With more than 1 in 4 children and adolescents in the U.S. taking prescription medications on a regular basis, summer camps devote much time organizing, preparing and distributing medications. Through their partnership with Pharmacy Plus Network, DocNetwork offers blister pack and unit dose pack medications for camps.

Online Registration

In November 2013, DocNetwork launched a free online registration system for summer camps. This will allow families to register their campers and pay camp deposits and tuition by credit card or electronic check online. While many camp registration software providers exist, all our paid products. This service will be released for users of the CampDoc.com division first, with the other divisions of DocNetwork to follow.[6]

YMCA

In September 2014, CampDoc.com was selected by the YMCA as a preferred vendor for YMCA summer camps. As part of their commitment to youth development, YMCA offers a diverse group of overnight, day and specialty camps throughout the country. This partnership was designed to help Y camps transform the delivery of healthcare at camp, and improve the health and safety at YMCA summer camps.[7]

ChildCareDoc.com

DocNetwork launched ChildCareDoc.com in the summer of 2013, and is currently piloting this system with child care centers and preschools nationally.

SchoolDoc.com

Alongside the launch of ChildCareDoc.com, DocNetwork also launched SchoolDoc.com, and is beginning to work with public schools, private schools and boarding schools.
