ABOUT US

Patients as Partners was founded because Hillary St. Pierre’s final years, from 2008 up to her death in 2012, were significantly marred by the fact that healthcare has not yet adopted the business process improvement methods that other industries have used for years. 

​

Patients as Partners hopes to improve communication and care coordination between facilities so professionals at different hospitals can view a consistent chain of communication between providers while patients can actively participate in their own care. It is vital that every professional have all the relevant information at the moment they need it, or they can’t possibly perform at the top of their ability. It is also essential that patients have timely access to their medical information to engage effectively in their care.​
