- What services are provided in the ePACE program?
Simply put, the ePACE Health program is centered around the creation of a Personal Health Record (PHR) and access to your physician 24/7. The ePACE program will help you choose the right PHR for you and your family. Our program will help you create and maintain this PHR so that better communication and coordination of your medical care can then occur. To complement this PHR tool, your physician will be available 24/7 through electronic means.
- How does the ePACE Health program benefit me?
Keeping your own personal health record (PHR) allows you to provide doctors with valuable information that can help improve the quality of care you receive. A PHR can help reduce or eliminate duplicate tests and allow you to receive faster, safer treatment and care in an emergency. In short, a PHR helps you play a more active role in yours and your loved ones' healthcare.
Your entire medical record will be available to you, your family if you wish, and all of your healthcare providers 24 hours a day 7 days per week. This Personal Health Record will be both private and secure and YOU will have complete control over who can access this information. In addition, your physician will be directly available to you 24/7 through telephone or electronic communication to answer questions and offer guidance regarding your health.
- How can the ePACE Health program help me specifically with my medical care?
The ePACE Health program is designed to enhance the information available to the patient and their physicians or other healthcare providers. The Personal Health Record will systematically review your medical history to check for preventive services and the beneficial screening tests that need to be performed by your physician based on your age and gender. By having 24/7 coordinated access with all of your healthcare providers and by providing a continuous review of your healthcare condition, the ePACE Health program is improving the quality of your healthcare.
- Will I need to re-enroll each year?
The ePACE Health program is designed for patients to have an ongoing membership each year. Each year a comprehensive review of your Personal Health Record will occur. This yearly information building of the electronic Personal Health Record as well as access to this information 24/7, dramatically improves the quality of your healthcare. This ongoing yearly program assures that you will always have the right medical information in the right place at the right time.
