Governments / Municipalities
It’s one thing for an individual or family to utilize a personal health record. But when entire communities and states buy in, the opportunities to revolutionize the health care industry and put the power in the hands of the people are limitless.
An online personal health record helps governments and municipalities in many ways.
Cost containment
- Studies estimate community and statewide health record systems stand to save states and municipalities up to 14% in annual health care expenses.
- Establishes transparency for health care payment plans, allowing for point-of-care transactions.
- Reduces medical errors and duplication of tests.
- Serves as deterrent for fraud and abuse.
Unified platform
- Instant access to shared information connects hospitals with hospitals and providers with providers as never before.
- Allows for discussion between providers on specific cases, which translates into faster, more efficient and accurate delivery of care and records.
- Installs a familiar system all health care organizations across a state or municipality can trust and become confident in.
Proactive health care management
- This unified system affords states and municipalities opportunities to identify various trends, such as flu outbreaks, in the population.
- Valuable information including what areas of a state or municipality were exposed to certain types of diseases can be used to organize plans, develop customized programs and learn from experiences.
- Education and wellness programs can be developed and delivered to help prevent disease and illness where there is a higher potential for it.
