Dr. Littlejohn Jr. explained that urology is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the male and female urinary-tract system and the male reproductive organs. Urologists, like Dr. Littlejohn Jr., specialize in diseases of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. He said that patients may be referred to a urologist if their physician suspects they may need treatment for a condition relating to the bladder, prostate urethra, ureters, kidneys, and adrenal glands.
The doctor specializes in diseases of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system and is considered an expert in benign prostatic hypertrophy; general urology; neuromodulation therapies; robotic (da Vinci) surgery; urodynamics; bladder prolapse surgery; neurogenic bladder dysfunction; prostate cancer; ureteral stones; and voiding dysfunction.
Along with his medical practice, Dr. Littlejohn Jr. is an entrepreneur who founded LinkBox Solutions LLC, a health technology company that seeks to incorporate the latest technological advances into the field of medicine. He noted that he was inspired to launch this business when he struggled to create a solution to help doctors more efficiently see their patients while also increasing the quality of care. The doctor asserts that LinkBox Solutions LLC offers a mobile software system that removes barriers between the physician and their patients while automating the HPI documentation process.
Dr. Littlejohn Jr. said this user-friendly technology allows a practice to receive detailed information about their patients before their appointment making patient care easier and faster than ever before. The program works as a mobile scribe ensuring doctors have access to all necessary data the moment, they need it. LinkBox generates question sets that are sent to the patients by the scheduling staff the moment their appointment is made (via email to register at their HIPAA/HITECH compliant cyber-secure site). This data collection method assures that all necessary information and relevant concerns are listed in one easily accessible location. Touted to increase the quality of patient care and decrease physician burnout, Dr. Littlejohn, Jr. explained that LinkBox streamlines daily operations and helps doctors feel more on top of their work while collaborating with EMR systems with its time-saving features, unparalleled privacy settings, and notes.
