Union Health is an integrated health system made up of Union Hospital, Union Medical Group, and Union Hospital Clinton.
The primary focus of an integrated health system is to provide seamless care for patients and their families. What makes integrated health care special is the sharing of information among caregivers. By sharing health information through a single medical record system, important patterns can be detected and addressed quickly. Teamwork between caregivers supports "complete" treatment and improves overall patient well-being.
Compared to "traditional health care", coordinated care:
- Reduces stress for patients and patient families.
- Enhances access to services.
- Improves the quality of care.
