Oklahoma City-based Integris — the largest health system in Oklahoma — has joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network, a national network of healthcare providers that offers members access to Mayo Clinic experts for complex medical problems.
Integris is the first healthcare organization in Oklahoma to join the network, which was launched in 2011. The formal agreement gives Integris access to expertise from physicians at Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic.
As a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, Integris will work with Mayo to share medical knowledge in ways that will enhance patient care. Network products and services include:
eConsults that enable Integris physicians to connect electronically with Mayo specialists when they want additional input on a patient's care
AskMayoExpert database that offers Integris providers point-of-care, Mayo-vetted information on disease management, care guidelines and treatment recommendations and reference materials for medical conditions
Healthcare consulting that enables Integris to learn more about Mayo's clinical, operational and business models, including the models' design and implementation
eTumor Board conferences that enable Integris physicians to present and discuss management of complex cancer cases with a multidisciplinary panel of Mayo specialists and other network members
Integris providers also have access to Mayo's extensive library of patient education materials, and can view archived Mayo Clinic grand rounds presentations that feature Mayo physicians and scientists.
