Neighbors Emergency Center, the largest independent provider of freestanding emergency centers in the country, selected Presidiohealth, a private company that manages patient experience through technology, to help NEC further enhance the patient experience.
NEC will implement Presidiohealth's technology suite called FSEC Foundation, which is designed to meet the needs of patients and providers in freestanding emergency centers by combining the T-system's IT services and Presidiohealth's management tools.
"Our core mission is to be a patient-centered organization that focuses on personalized care offering the highest quality emergency medicine to the thousands of patients that depend on us each day," said Neighbors Emergency Center CEO Setul Patel, MD. This partnership will give us the infrastructure we need to do just that."
Douglas Evans, MD, founder of Presidiohealth, also expressed excitement about the partnership. "We look forward to helping Neighbors Emergency Center provide exceptional care to their patients," he said. "We make sure caregivers have the right tools to focus their full attention on caring for patients — not paperwork — and making sure patients can focus on getting well instead of filling out forms and dealing with billing confusion and worrying about payments."
Neighbors Emergency Center will begin utilizing this program in fall 2017.
