Better Care
Continuum Healthcare Network reduces costs by avoiding unnecessary treatments and their associated expenses, by operating efficiently without the administrative costs of claims, through early intervention to help patients get the right level of care, and through prevention services. “Providing care in which care teams work together to know and treat the patient fully, respectful of, and responsive to, individual patient preferences, needs and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.” This approach requires a true partnership between individuals and their healthcare providers, one where the individual’s needs and aspirations drive both healthcare decisions and how outcomes are measured. We promote the patient-centered model, care teams work together to know and treat the fully patient — developing individualized, comprehensive care plans in which mental health and social needs receive equal attention to traditional medical treatment.

what to expect on your telemedicine appointment

The spread of the novel coronavirus that has swept across the US has become an unanticipated catalyst for telehealth adoption and deployment. Provider organizations were faced with an urgent need to shift strategies for patient engagement—to provide options for virtual care in support of social distancing. Providers without the telehealth capabilities in place have been nudged through the adoption doorway and have had to ramp up quickly to sustain a critical connection to their patients. In the midst of other disruptive challenges, such as equipping nonessential employees to work from home and rapidly changing patient contact practices, healthcare organizations have had to shoulder the cost and burden of unplanned-for and unbudgeted technology adoption.
How to Securely Embrace the Immediate Implications and Prepare for the Future of Telehealth
Healthcare should be helpful, not a hassle.
Telemedicine is being used widely during the pandemic – Among the 39% of people who consulted a healthcare professional, two-thirds used telemedicine, many of them for the first time (84%).

on your telemedicine appointment

Here’s what you can expect in a telemedicine appointment.
The Telemedicine Appointment When your appointment is scheduled, you’ll specify whether you’d like a phone call or a video call. At the agreed time, Continuum Healthcare Network preferred providers will contact you by whichever method you specified. If you’ve scheduled a call through the Continuum Healthcare Network Patient Portal, you’ll connect to the call from the portal. The first part of the call involves making sure we know who you are. We will ask questions to verify your identities, such as your date of birth or address. We will ask for your agreement to conduct the telemedicine visit and you will have to say that you agree or select “consent” in the Continuum Healthcare Network portal before the visit can start. Your calls are always private. If you need telemedicine equipment we will provide and arrange it prior to your telemedicine appointment. The next step is similar to the routine at an in-person visit. We’ll ask about your health history and ask about any vital signs that you are able to provide (like weight, temperature, or blood pressure). Your provider or the assistant will also ask what medications you are taking. Asking about your health.Next, your provider will want to hear from you about your health and any concerns you have. You and the provider discuss options to improve your health, and this may include prescriptions, follow-up appointments, changes to your diet, or other guidance.Telemedicine calls are in use for a variety of appointments across Continuum Healthcare Network – adult medicine, specialty care, pediatrics, Ob-Gyn, psychiatry, case management, and therapy, for example. Can you hear me now?As with anything new, sometimes glitches may occur, like a dropped call or connections. If that happens, we reconnect with you using whichever method you chose for the appointment. If that doesn’t work, we try reaching you with a phone call. Our Continuum Healthcare Network staff will keep trying to connect with you later. Your record.Just like at an in-person visit, you receive a record of your visit. Your After-Visit Summary, which includes details of the visit, medication instructions, and follow-up actions, will be available for you on the Swope Health Patient Portal. If you need help getting set up or forgot your password, call 240-650-7250.We want to stay in touch with you! If you have any questions, please call us: 240-650-7250.
