Under the affiliation agreement, Emory physicians will serve as medical directors for 31 different MinuteClinic locations in and around Atlanta. In addition, MinuteClinic and Emory Healthcare will collaborate on patient education and disease management initiatives and will refer patients to one another. The two also plan to integrate electronic medical record systems to share patient data.
“Emory Healthcare is expanding our presence to ensure we can offer our patients in the community ready access to outstanding care,” John Fox, CEO of Emory Healthcare, said in the release. “As a well-established part of the Metro Atlanta community, Emory Healthcare is well positioned to offer innovative care models as evidenced by this affiliation with CVS that will help extend our services to even more neighborhoods. We are excited about this new opportunity to better serve our patients.”
