The Baton Rouge Orthopaedic Clinic (BROC) not only works to minimize patients’ pain; they are also dedicated and committed to make their experience better and more convenient. So when BROC CEO Trey Williamson and his team made the decision to invest in a new electronic health record, the nationally renowned, highly utilized EPIC and its MyChart app was a natural choice.
“Our evaluation and focus with the selection of any medical record or system is patient care and how to best serve our patients,” says Williamson. “In our market, numerous providers and hospital systems are already on the EPIC platform, so there’s a common interconnectivity between providers. This continuity enables us to share important health information and to seamlessly refer patients to providers participating on the platform. The ability to coordinate patient care across all providers allows a more holistic understanding of the patient’s care and medications with the goal of producing the best possible outcomes.”
With the MyChart app that so many patients are already accustomed to, it’s fairly simple to add BROC to the list of providers, ensuring easy access to test results, health records, managing appointments, and more.
“By providing patients with timely and accurate access to their medical information, they are better informed about the care process and therefore can make educated decisions regarding their healthcare needs,” says Williamson. “Having real time access has become more important than ever for patients. They prefer an app to easily access their records versus filing medical record requests that are generally cumbersome and often delivered in paper format.”
Convenience has always been top priority for BROC – their main Surgical Specialty Center location is a testament to this focus. From the surgical hospital, to physical therapy services, to a storefront where patients can get slings, braces, crutches and boots, to an imaging center for X-Rays, MRIs, or CT scans, having a “one-stop shop” remains an important benefit to offer patients.
“Having everything coordinated for our patients helps them with continuity and timeliness of care; it also helps our doctors stay informed of the care provided and how it impacts treatment plans to ensure the best outcomes,” says Williamson. “Keeping patients healthy and informed is our main goal.”
