The prime concern of every healthcare provider is to deliver optimal patient care. Howbeit, this ultimate goal is disrupted by the complexities in the health system and the gaps in primary care coordination.

Very often we get to see that the treatment recommended for curing a disease fails due to the non-compliant behavior of the patients. This happens when the patients do not complete their screening and diagnostic processes or take drugs to treat an illness without consulting the doctor. These care gaps are the core reasons that lead to poor patient outcomes, delayed as well as expensive diagnoses & prolonged medications, and medical errors. On the other hand, the quandary over deciphering issues and taking measures to meet patient-specific needs continues to widen the gap.

How do we close the gaps to enhance care coordination and deliver effective care to patients? The first and foremost solution is to implement independent practices. Establishing a robust and long-term patient-physician relationship is essential for quality primary care. Maintaining a log-book with patients to track their medical records of patients enables clinicians to extend better treatment by giving a glance at their medical history.

To help physicians further bridge this gap and streamline patient care, HELYXON is availing cutting-edge technologies to help physicians rationalize their healthcare management strategies and enable quality health affordable, accessible and reliable.
