Benefits

Participation in HealtheConnections™ allows physicians to leverage information technology to help streamline patient care. Benefits include, but are not limited to the following:

Improved coordination of patient care — All members of the medical team can access the diagnostic information they need, improving the quality of care.

Reduced risk of errors — Electronic medical records reduce errors caused by difficulties in reading handwritten or faxed reports, prescriptions, and orders.

Better emergency care — Essential medical information can be retrieved at the point of care, helping to avoid adverse drug interactions and improve safety overall.

Fewer repeated medical tests and procedures — Visibility of previously administered tests, results, and services will help avoid unnecessary repeating of tests, ultimately reducing costs.
