Patient Benefits

When a patient’s health care providers have access to their health information and are able to share that information with one another, they can give patients better, more coordinated care. Patients benefit when their providers can share health information, such as prescribed medicines and test results that may influence treatment options.  

Community Health Accountable Care LLC offers several benefits to patients:

• Community Health Accountable Care is comprised of local health care providers and hospitals that work together to provide coordinated care to patients. 
  
• The doctors and other providers who are helping care for patients communicate with each other and partner with patients in making health care decisions. 
  
• Patients may spend less time filling out medical history paperwork because their doctors may already have this information in an electronic health record. 
  
• Patients will likely have fewer repeated medical tests because their doctors and hospitals will share information and coordinate their care.
  
• Patients will be in the center of care, and their doctors will be better able to keep them informed, and to keep listening to and honoring their choices.
  
• Patients will be able to continue to choose their own providers and their Medicare benefits.
