Healthcare Providers

How does Avado support your practice?

Healthcare works best when there’s a partnership in which both you and your patient actively engage in improving the patient’s care. 

Avado’s Patient Relationship Management (PRM) tool lets you create and manage that partnership in a secure and private way, through one-on-one contact with individual patients, as well as through messages broadcast to all your patients. 

Avado enables you to communicate with your patients and easily create “services” that streamline patient interaction, improve healthcare outcomes, and increase patient satisfaction with your care. 

For instance, you can use Avado to:

• Set up automated patient intake and privacy forms so new patients can complete them before their first appointment.
• Deliver care-specific services to patients—such as reminders to take their vitals, schedule appointments, take medications, or perform their physical therapy—to encourage them to stay on their wellness regimen.
• Broadcast important healthcare information, news, and updates to all or groups of your patients at once.
• Establish a two-way contact with patients who have chronic conditions that need ongoing management to reduce pain, improve functional outcomes, and improve medication adherence.
• Receive up-to-date health data from your patients, so you can monitor progress and adjust their care.
• Send notifications for regular appointments and have them display in the patient's health calendar.

The ways you can use Avado to enhance your patient partnerships are as limitless as how you decide to put it to work for you. 
 

Ideal for your patient-centric environment

Any provider who works in a patient-centric, rather than billing-centric, practice can benefit from using Avado. This is especially true for those who have ongoing (rather than merely single or transactional) patient relationships. Clinicians using Avado include primary care physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dietitians, physical therapists, naturopathic doctors, home health workers, and more. 
 

A unique tool for today’s healthcare

Avado is the first Patient Relationship Management system built from the ground up around the principles of a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). This is defined by the medical industry as "an approach to providing comprehensive primary care...that facilitates partnerships between individual patients, and their personal providers, and when appropriate, the patient’s family." 

A wide array of PCMH models are emerging in response to new healthcare laws, including PCMH pilots sponsored by state governments, health insurance providers, corporations, and other markets. Avado can support your practice as these new models for healthcare partnerships take hold and develop. 

Once you and your patients register with Avado, you become partners in the therapeutic alliance via the Internet or an iPhone application. Avado complements and integrates with your practice’s existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, so patients entering data into their Avado health records can elect to submit the data to your EHR system. This data can help you make better, more informed decisions for patient care. 

Avado also provides your patients with a Connected Health Record (CHR), which can improve how you communicate and share medical records with your patients. With the email-like aspect of CHR, your patient-provider communications are no longer limited to telephone or face-to-face appointments, enabling both you and your patients to interact on your own schedules.
