What is Healthcare Coordination and Why We Need to Improve it?
Do you find it difficult navigating through the maze of uncoordinated healthcare? With growing technological advances, medical practices are spending less and less time with patients. With so many separate systems, however, many administrative or operational workflows create additional back-office work. With practices relying more on electronic means of interacting with patients and other practices the problems increase.
Healthcare coordination is the organization of patient’s medical information between two or more providers to facilitate the delivery of correct healthcare services. It brings together different providers and information to better coordinate healthcare services. Care coordination helps improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the healthcare system. Below are ways to help you improve your practice’s coordination:
