“Our providers have grown as the Portal has grown. I think it’s been nice that we started when we did, and the providers have grown and adapted it as the functions have changed.”
Marie Sanders, Clinical Services Manager, Carson Medical Group
Problem
Founded in 1974, Carson Medical Group had built itself into a well-established, multi-specialty medical practice serving northern Nevada. With the arrival of Meaningful Use requirements and the shift toward value-based care, the staff recognized the need to adopt additional technologies and updated patient engagement strategies to streamline workflows and further improve the quality of care.
Solution
Beginning with its family medicine group, Carson Medical Group began widespread implementation of Patient Portal, Messenger, and healow apps from eClinicalWorks, and steadily spread their use to the entire clinical staff, while encouraging their adoption among patients.
Results
Through consistently demonstrating Patient Portal to patients, and offering incentives for those who used it, Carson Medical Group achieved steady increases in the use of online engagement tools, met Meaningful Use requirements, and increased office efficiency. With the Messenger feature alone, Carson was able to send out more than 200,000 appointment reminders.
