GlobeHealer’s Role in Healthcare
Patients looking for medical care often find themselves adrift – navigating from one website to another, while also trying to understand the overwhelming amount of complicated, sometimes confusing. medical information. Searching medical websites often raise more questions than answers and typically leads to confusion. GlobeHealer streamlines this process by linking patients directly to healthcare providers and thus, enabling them to communicate openly with their physician. This is accomplished through our patient portal by providing people with a way to find safe, high quality, and appropriately priced healthcare worldwide.
Portable Medical Documents
Once patients create a GlobeHealer account, they will have initiated their patient profile in the GlobeHealer portal. Through their profile, patients will be able to communicate with a GlobeHealer case manager to develop a customized treatment plan. The GlobeHealer portal allows patients to check on the status of their appointments, travel arrangements, upcoming costs and completed payments, as well as many other aspects of their care.
The GlobeHealer patient portal also offers a secure and convenient way for providers to access patients’ medical records. Once a case manager helps a patient upload their electronic medical records into the portal, their physician can access them at any time. With appropriate medical records at their fingertips, physicians will be able to evaluate each patient’s situation with comprehensive knowledge of his or her medical history so that their care will be thorough and individually tailored to their patient. Ongoing updates to a patient’s medical history enable physicians and case managers to fill any gaps in the electronic health records, either when working alone or when filling out their documents in tandem with their Case Managers.
