Better Records mean even Better Care
At Health First Physicians, we want to manage your health information more efficiently. Our offices are in the process of implementing an electronic health records (EHR) system. It allows us to maintain secure medical records on our computer system, as well as:
- Communicate better. We can now quickly and safely access records and share that information with the patient and other health care providers.
- Improve efficiency. The technology allows us to be more efficient when updating, storing and transporting information electronically.
- Provide even better care. We now have the tools to provide more complete and proactive health care services.
Your patience is appreciated as we transition from paper charts. If this is your first visit with the EHR, your appointment may require some additional time.
Our Vision
- We will measure and achieve levels of medical excellence that distinguish us both regionally and nationally.
- We will provide superior service quality to our patients.
- Physicians will regard this as an "optimal" practice setting.
- Our practice and each physician will be well known and highly regarded in the community. Our reputation will be associated with high quality medical care and our physicians will be those most sought for care by the community.
