WELCOME TO PATIENTS
AS
PARTNERS

OUR BACKGROUND

Reimagining healthcare systems will reduce healthcare costs while simultaneously improving the quality of patient care at a time when the rate of medical costs are rising beyond America’s capacity to sustain them. Despite their availability and significant benefits, regional hospitals have been slow to adopt HIE systems. Lack of awareness, education and questions about sustainability are believed to be major contributors to the slow adoption rate.

VALUE STATEMENT

Patients as Partners believes that the values of integrity, honesty, patient confidentiality, transparency, collaboration and partnership are critical to improving the quality of patient care at an affordable cost. We are fully committed to all who participate in the healthcare system from providers to patients.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Patients as Partners is to advocate affordable patient care to hospitals through the education of healthcare professionals, legislators and patients as well as provide financial and research based support for the adoption and sustainability of healthcare systems.

VISION STATEMENT

The vision of Patients as Partners is to lead with inspiration and courage a Nationwide Health Information Exchange (HIE) Outreach Program to inform hospitals, healthcare providers and patients on the future possibilities of collaborative health and patient care.
