This webinar will be provided in English with simultaneous interpretation into Spanish.
MCN’s Health Network offers continuity of care for patients who are leaving the service area before their treatment completion, which reduces loss-to-follow-up rates and ensures uninterrupted care and better health outcomes for the patient. Health Network speaks directly with the patient, finds the patient a new health center at their next location, transfers medical records, and links the patient to follow-up services. During this webinar, you will learn how to enroll a patient in Health Network, strategies for incorporating Health Network into your existing clinic systems, and the steps Health Network associates take to ensure continuity of care for your patients while keeping your clinic informed of patient outcomes. Health Network has proven to be an easily modifiable patient navigation system with application in disease surveillance and treatment management for any number of injuries, illnesses, or care needs.
