AT DARTMOUTH-HITCHCOCK we believe communication between health care providers is imperative in providing patients with the highest quality care. To this end, we’ve established the Practice Affiliate Information System (PAIS). This suite of Internet-enabled services provides the clinicians and staff of community-based practices with access to Dartmouth-Hitchcock physicians and clinical data on referred patients.
Who Can Use the PAIS?
The PAIS is available to any practice that refers patients to any Dartmouth-Hitchcock location. Individual accounts are created for the clinicians and staff who need access to DHMC clinical information.
What are the benefits of the PAIS?
As a timely tool for sharing important clinical patient information, the PAIS enables referring clinicians to confirm clinical impressions and receive immediate feedback and information about a patient’s medical care. The PAIS improves the continuity of care, ensuring that you, as the referring clinician, remain involved in the patient’s care after he/she has been seen at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. In addition, the PAIS reduces the need for duplicate testing, since tests performed during a patient’s visit to Dartmouth-Hitchcock may still be valid.
Is the PAIS Secure?
Yes. The PAIS adheres to HIPAA privacy requirements and carefully restricts access and safeguards patient confidentiality. Each user receives a unique username and password, and all inquiries are monitored and checked retrospectively. Affiliates are required to sign agreements enforcing strict adherence to Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s internal policy for confidentiality and Release of Patient Information. And patient authorization must be obtained before any clinician may access electronic medical records.
How do I sign up for the PAIS?
If you are interested in signing up, obtaining additional information or have specific questions about the PAIS, contact Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center’s Physician Connection Line at (866) DHMC-DOC (346-2362). |
