Health Navigator announced today that it has partnered with ERatHome, a network of retail clinics and home-based urgent care services, to expand access to providers and control the flow of medical information between patients and clinicians. As part of the collaboration, Health Navigator will support ERatHome’s Hive application, which is designed to share medical records and treatment history among care teams, provide patients with 24/7 access to doctors, facilitate appointment scheduling, send automated reminders and alerts, and share helpful patient education resources.
“ERatHome provides a valuable opportunity to expand access for patients and providers through its Hive application. This partnership will introduce consumers to a new level of care convenience that includes valuable aftercare instructions and resources,” said Patty Maynard, senior vice president of business development, Health Navigator. “Health Navigator aims to enhance the patient experience with easy-to-understand clinical information in plain language, which makes the Hive application an ideal match.”
Patients in the ERatHome network can use the Hive app to call or schedule a virtual visit with a doctor. Doctors use patient information to make a preliminary diagnosis based on symptoms and suggest the next steps to take. Health Navigator provides a diagnostic decision-support platform that features clinical codes, symptom checking intelligence and process analysis for clinicians. By integrating Health Navigator’s comprehensive set of codes and analytics, ERatHome provides a more accurate, efficient diagnostic process, which can produce improved outcomes.
“ERatHome helps providers maintain control of patient care plans while providing a convenient, accessible experience,” said Ashok Subramanian, MD, president and CEO, ERatHome and Animedix, Inc. “Our information technology team has found the Health Navigator API documentation to be excellent, clear and well-organized, providing optimal support for our diagnostic check-in processes and better care for our patients.”
