Getting Started for Clinicians
This section is tailored to clinicians. It introduces you to the types of information shared, where it comes from, when it is refreshed, and more. A key goal of this guide is for you to understand how, when and where to apply Particle's insights in some common workflows.
Spend more time providing care and less time chart diving
We know that access to comprehensive medical history is essential for delivering safe, timely, and high-quality patient care. We also recognize that clinicians like you are skilled at piecing together patient health information—searching through your systems, scanned medical records, and gathering details from patients and their families to build a complete picture of health. This can become a real challenge to keep track of since medical information lives in different places and comes in different formats.
That's why Particle is here to help. By delivering a complete, longitudinal picture of your patient’s health, you can spend more time caring for patients and less time combing through records. We locate data across systems and providers nationwide, and then consolidate, verify and enrich these records so that by the time it reaches you, it’s clean and actionable.
So, how does it work?
In short, Particle maintains an up-to-date picture of your patients’ health by locating and gathering data from the nationwide health information networks whenever requested. But we don't just pass on data directly, we also consolidate, verify, and clean this information so that you get the pertinent nuggets needed for clinical decision making.
There are three large national networks which together have access to healthcare records for well over 90% of the population. These networks are Commonwell, Carequality, and eHealthExchange – and Particle Health is connected to all three. This technical retrieval process is kicked off by something called a 'query'. Read on to learn more about how queries work, what information you can expect to receive back, and how it could be used in your existing workflows.
