Giving Your Employees Control Over Their Health Care Information

Providing your employees and their dependents with access to their own health care records is a key part of promoting healthier lifestyles as well as improving the safety, quality and efficiency of health care. Through CareEntrust’s highly secure Web-based application, employees are able to manage their own health care information and then share their record with their authorized health care providers.
The information contained in the CareEntrust Health Record includes information such as an individual patient’s past and current medications, visit history, lab results, immunizations, allergies and demographic information.

Employer Benefits of the CareEntrust Health Record:

• Healthier employees
• Cost savings
• Increased productivity

By providing patient information to health care providers in a secure, easy-to-use Web-based format, CareEntrust reduces the risk of adverse drug events, unnecessary procedures, dosing errors, immunization non-compliance and misdiagnoses. CareEntrust saves costs through fewer duplicate tests, medical errors, hospitalizations, outpatient visits and lower emergency department expenditures.

Competitiveness
The employer-sponsored CareEntrust health record is the first of its kind in the nation and a real point of differentiation for Kansas City. In addition to being an important tool for recruitment, CareEntrust is also driving regional competitiveness by lowering overall health care costs and improving worker productivity.
