EpicCare Link: Connecting Care Providers to Lurie’s EMR
EpicCare Link is a secure, web-based application that grants our external care providers read-only access to their patients’ health records within Lurie’s electronic medical record (EMR) system. This tool enhances collaboration and ensures continuity of care by providing up-to-date patient information.
Behavioral Health Consultation Model
The All Hands Health Network's Behavioral Health Consultation Model is a flexible, case-based system designed to support our network’s PCPs in delivering quality mental health care. Through PH Connect, our secure Provider-to-Provider Communication System, network PCPs can directly communicate with AHHN’s Child Psychologist for assistance with behavioral health (BH) diagnosis, medication management, and evidence-based psychotherapeutic treatment recommendations.
Two Levels of Behavioral Health Support:
Level 1 - Provider Consultation Direct Messaging:
- Service: Provides primary care clinicians with clinical responses to inquiries regarding the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric ADHD, anxiety, and/or depression.
- Privacy: This communication method does not require Protected Health Information (PHI).
Level 2 - Consultative Assessments:
- Service: Offers a one-time, 1:1 virtual evaluation assessment between AHHN’s Child Psychologist and the referred patient to confirm a diagnosis.
- Privacy: This service requires client-specific background and information.
