The Evolution of Healthcare Interim CEO, Michael Collins, ECHN A s the world of healthcare evolves, there are more and more care options to choose from, making tools like this Resource Guide invaluable. While more choice is a benefit to patients, it can certainly make navigating health resources a little daunting. e good news is, the changing face of healthcare actually can make it simpler to find and access the services you need, because virtually all care can originate from one single point — the relationship between you and your primary care physician (PCP). At Eastern Connecticut Health Network (ECHN), we call this "You-Centered Care." e focus, or center of the circle, is your relationship with a PCP in one of our Eastern Connecticut Medical Professionals (ECMP) practices throughout the region. From there, ECHN surrounds you with a world of health and wellness resources — including hospitals, specialists, behavioral health, labs, fitness and nutrition, home care and more. In this you- centered model, you and your doctor decide what care is best and where to get it. ECHN's patient-centered model includes an advanced electronic medical records system that helps keep patients and doctors informed and on the same page. We also employ a team of care coordinators to provide guidance to patients between doctor visits and an information modeling system that can accelerate the diagnosis and treatment of more serious medical issues. ECHN believes that care should be delivered locally whenever possible. In other words, the circle around you and your doctor, while large enough to include every service you need, should be small enough to feel comfortable and convenient.
