Strategies for the Transplant Care Team
eHealth Technologies began working with transplant centers in 2006 and now partners with over 40% of the top 100 highest volume transplant facilities in the U.S. As the industry leader in medical record retrieval, eHealth Technologies’ services allow transplant centers to evaluate and list patients more quickly, which can have an immediate impact on patient care and outcomes. Over the past year, eHealth Technologies has signed five new transplant centers, and expanded services at several other sites.
eHealth Connect® solutions, which are utilized by almost half of the hospitals on Becker’s Health care 100 Great Hospitals list, enable clinicians to optimize the clinical review of outside records for their on-boarding of new patients for transplant centers and other hospital departments alike. All the information is clinically organized, searchable, and hyperlinked to ensure rapid record review from the clinicians’ EMR, eliminating the need to print and search through paper documents or faxes.
“eHealth Technologies made it easier and quicker for our staff to prepare the patient’s record in a fully digital format for their evaluation appointment,” said Kim Phillips, Senior Director, Transplant Service Line at University of Utah Health’s Transplant Center. “The ability to review records in a clinically-organized, searchable format based on ‘organ-specific’ keywords makes our doctors happy,” Phillips added.
eHealth Connect® Record Retrieval allows hospitals to retrieve medical records, images, and pathology slides for referred patients up to 60% faster so they can schedule and create treatment plans more quickly – typically in as little as 1 to 5 days. Using the eHealth Technologies’ online record request system, staff spend minutes submitting a request instead of hours or days collecting records which leads to increased staff and physician satisfaction. With eHealth Connect Clinical Record services, records are organized in an easy-to-navigate format with searchable keywords.
Establishing electronic transmission of medical records and images directly into an EMR or PACS provides easy access to critical information, allowing clinical teams to spend more time on patient care.
Access to outside records is no longer a burden, as eHealth Technologies ensures providers get the information needed before the patient’s first appointment. The eHealth Technologies team can work directly with patients to ensure the information most relevant to their care is discovered and delivered to the transplant team and their EMR and/or PACS.
“We are thrilled to support UNOS, a non-profit organization that manages the nation’s organ transplant system. As a critical partner to many of the top transplant centers in the US, we look forward to discussing how access to clinically organized medical records and images can transform how transplant programs deliver patient care,” stated Jeff Markin, CEO at eHealth Technologies.
