What is Community Health Connect?
Community
Health Connect (CHConnect) is our HIPAA-compliant patient cross-referral,
scheduling and electronic health information system. By utilizing a collaborative approach to healthcare concerns, we simply help you provide better care.
- CHConnect links private hospital
emergency departments (EDs) with primary care and specialty clinics to reduce
non-urgent ED patient visits, resulting in cost savings of
$420,000-$2.1 million per ED -- depending on its number of such visits.
- CHConnect links public hospital EDs with
community health centers to reduce non-urgent ED patient visits by 30%,
resulting in freeing up valuable ED resources for emergencies and
reducing incremental expenses needed to address overcrowding.
- CHConnect links community health centers
with other clinics and mobile units to provide continuity of patient
care for specialty treatments and patient access. Participating clinics
can also improve operating efficiency by 50% through shared electronic
patient information.
- CHConnect helps healthcare funding
agencies attain cost savings of up to $18 billion per year nationally
by linking health centers with EDs for redirecting avoidable ED patient
cases to health centers.
A proven solution,
CHConnect has been used successfully for several years by a community
consortium consisting of 20+ clinic sites, serving a target
population of 100,000 people.
Unlike other costly solutions, upfront costs are much lower with
CHConnect. Clients pay a reasonable monthly fee for using CHConnect.
