COLLABORATIVE MEDICINE

At Patients as Partners we are working toward a collaborative cure for the healthcare industry. Due to recent legislation a paradigm shift is currently taking place, in some regions faster than others. With the introduction of electronic health record systems came the opportunity for patients and providers to collaborate to reduce costs and improve patient outcomes.

​

This opportunity is a move in the right direction. Patients have been getting lost in the referral and data collection process for too long. Health Information Exchanges (HIE’s) will streamline a now inefficient process, allowing healthcare providers and hospitals to refer to other practitioners as needed and without excessive paperwork. Patients will be able to access their records through a patient-centric portal.

​

There are a few companies currently leading the way in collaborative medicine. Patients as Partners is hoping to create a culture where this medical paradigm is not only accepted, but also desired.
