Better, More Convenient Health Care

Your health care provider will have instant, secure access to important patient information to help provide the best care in a medical emergency or a routine office visit. This information begins with medication history and allergies, and will soon include lab results and radiology results.

Your health care providers are already sharing this information, but now, instead of using phone calls, faxes and postal mail, they can access this information electronically through a secure online exchange.

Benefits to patients

• Less chance of drug interactions. The system's electronic prescribing feature automatically warns of incorrect dosage or possible drug interactions.
  
  
• Fewer repeated tests. Your doctors can quickly access the results of tests performed at other locations.
  
  
• Reduced risk of mistakes. Errors caused by poor handwriting, hard to read faxes, and lost paper forms are eliminated.
  
  
• Easier second opinions. Your entire medical team can access the diagnostic information they need.
  
  
• Greater convenience. Patients will no longer need to carry clinical reports, prescription information and other medical results between health care settings.
  
  
• Protection of patient privacy. Only authorized health care personnel can see patient information. All access made to a patients' health information is tracked and can be audited.
