Connecting Patients and Providers

Connecting Patients with Providers

BHP has invested in technology to make the transition to the next level of care smoother for the patients we care for and for the Providers in our Network.

We have 2 different tools a Provider may choose to utilize, based upon preference for direct scheduling (SchedulR) or scheduling by contacting your clinic (Provider Database). These tools are accessed through our web-based system called Care Connect.

Benefits to you as a Provider:

• Providers can customize their Care Connect profile to ensure proper referrals from SchedulR or Provider Database.
• Utilize SchedulR:
  • View/Edit appointments
  • Have access to patient demographic information when an appointment is scheduled.

Provider Care Connect Expectations:

• Updating appointment availability
• Complete and thorough Patient and Scheduling Instructions
• Marking appointment attendance
• Completed Care Connect profile
• Providers should contact the patient prior to the appointment

Below are examples of best practices for Scheduling Notes/Patient Instructions when offering appointments on SchedulR:
