We believe that health care is a right, not a privilege.
What is CareEverywhere?
CareEverywhere is an application Epic uses to share patient data between health care institutions. Its goal is to provide a comprehensive picture of a patient’s chart. If your Fenway Health providers can see the care you or your child receives at an outside hospital or clinic, that helps us understand how to deliver the best care for you.
Massachusetts is an OPT-OUT state for CareEverywhere. This means once your chart is set up at Fenway, the system searches for your information at surrounding facilities and pulls it into the chart. This allows anyone on your care team (at Fenway or otherwise) to get a better picture of your overall healthcare journey.
If you are a Fenway Health patient and do NOT want your Fenway record to be shared with your other health care providers, let anyone on your care team know. We can turn off this setting for you at any time.
A medical record provides the systematic documentation of a single patient‘s medical history and care across time within one particular health care provider’s jurisdiction. The medical record includes a variety of types of “notes” entered over time by health care professionals, recording observations and administration of drugs and therapies, orders for the administration of drugs and therapies, test results, x-rays, reports, etc.
The maintenance of complete and accurate medical records is a requirement of health care providers and is generally enforced as a licensing or certification prerequisite.
