Health-e-link's Care Connector Network - Helping people make healthy lifestyle choices, wherever they are!


Evolving Collaborative Healthcare Landscape

Healthcare providers, their community-based partners, and public health agencies are looking for innovative opportunities to help meet triple aim goals of better population health, better experience of care and lower costs. Today, there are evolving new models of care with non-traditional healthcare providers that address the specific needs of patients outside of their primary care settings. The challenge however is developing effective communications channels between healthcare providers and their collaborating partners. Today, these communications channels are nothing more than word of mouth or at best, paper-based fax communications. With evolving EMR/EHR and HIE capabilities across the nation's healthcare system, there must be a better way!
