HealthBeat Message (Jan. 2010)
This promises to be an exciting new year at SEARHC.
In 2010, we expect to launch two projects to upgrade our facilities at the Hydaburg Health Center and at the Trudy Wolfe Health Center in Hoonah. The Hydaburg project is fully funded, design work is complete, and we expect to start renovation and expansion of the new Hydaburg clinic this spring. In addition, we are upgrading the current facilities in Hoonah, while we draft a plan and start looking for funding to build a much-needed replacement clinic.
This year we will see major changes with our systems transformation project, which will be highlighted when we launch one of the first comprehensive electronic health records (EHR). This EHR will bring your patient files into one record, making it easier for our providers to view your complete patient record while helping to prevent diseases and reduce errors.
We are improving patient access, making it easier to get appointments when you need them, while also beefing up our customer service and quality of care. We also are providing more information about cancer prevention and treatment, especially colorectal cancers affecting many of our people.
These projects all are close to reaching a conclusion and we look forward to seeing them through in 2010.
