Sentara Provides the Future of Healthcare Today
Sentara continues to invest in the future of healthcare by expanding electronic medical records technology – the Sentara eCare Health Network® – across its system.
Sentara eCare® has transformed paper charts into protected electronic medical records that allow the secure sharing of patient information among Sentara hospitals, physician practices and other Sentara healthcare sites, while giving
Sentara Medical Group patients online access to their health records via
Sentara MyChart.
Electronic medical records enable better collaboration and communication between physicians, resulting in an even higher quality care for patients. Safeguards built into the system enhance patient safety by preventing errors and detecting potential drug interactions. Electronic medical records are more secure than paper charts because only authorized members of the healthcare team can view them.
Electronic medical records include real-time documentation on tests, notes and prescriptions and allow patients’ records to follow them at various Sentara facilities – primary care physicians, specialists, imaging, rehabilitation, pharmacies or hospitals. This makes future health care needs more efficient and effective.
Sentara eCare® also provides a unprecedented access for patients of Sentara Medical Group. These patients can request appointments and prescription refills online and ask non-emergency medical questions via
Sentara MyChart.
