Answers for patients

1. My patients want to know about CCOs
   Right now, most OHP members are moving into Coordinated Care Organizations, or CCOs. CCOs are set up so that anyone who provides your care — doctors, nurses, counselors — can focus on prevention and improving care.
   
   More information about CCOs can be found on www.health.oregon.gov, click on "Info for clients."

2. My patients are asking about EHRs
   Electronic records have the ability to keep a secure record of a patient's complete health picture, serving as a reminder when they're due for a checkup, what medications they take and what medical test they've already had. This can help avoid repeating tests unnecessarily and help us quickly find relevant information about overall patient care.



3. My patients want information about Patient-Centered Primary Care Homes
   Primary care homes are clinics that are recognized for their commitment to patient-centered care. Recognized clinics better-coordinate care to help patients get the services they need, when they need them.
   
   Additional patient information and brochures are available on www.PrimaryCareHome.oregon.gov.
