patient talking points
As you talk with patients, we want you to do so with full knowledge and understanding of the benefits of our new electronic medical records system.
Bon Secours ConnectCare is an integrated clinical information system that makes it possible to link all clinical information in one record. It provides access to evidence-based clinical practices and information that supports the BSHSI clinical transformation initiative to deliver clinical excellence and extraordinary care.
ConnectCare is the engine for achieving this clinical transformation across BSHSI. It is the coming together of new ways of caring for our patients with the power of an advanced electronic health record (EHR).
benefits of our ConnectCare system include:
- One Patient. One Record. Accessibility 24/7, no matter where you are.
