You-access provides health care providers with the
capacity to offer their patients a revolutionary new "state of the art"
Internet and cellphone based chronic disease management program designed to
provide a seamless information management tool that guarantees patient
confidentiality within the program.
The programme is off-site and/or
community based. This means that patients have the freedom to be treated by a
medical doctor of their own choice with the freedom to change from one clinic
to another without loss of clinical records. It also enables the patients the
freedom to choose when and from which pharmacy they would like to collect their
chronic disease medicines. This increases the patient's confidence in the
confidentiality of their medical records within the program".
All patients within a
participating health care centre are provided with an identical looking
You-access Chronic Disease Management card - the card does not show the
patients name; it provides two identifying numbers: the patients ID number and
a unique system-generated PIN number that is only known to the patient. This
facilitates paperless, anonymous, real-time sharing of patient medical records
between laboratories, pharmacies, medical doctors and clinics/hospitals,
without revealing the name and surname of the patient. The designated health
care chronic disease program manager is also given unparalleled access to
anonymous, unlinked, multilevel patient health data while communication with
all active patients can be maintained via mobile text message and
e-mail. They receive sms or e-mail messages from the system for research
purposes, informing them about important appointment dates, medicine
prescription collection dates as well as reminders that encourage compliance
and adherence to treatment regimes.
All communications and medical
records are stored by the system in perpetuity. This will allow for the
extraction of anonymous, unlinked medical information from the system,
providing valuable anonymous information on patient compliance and adherence to
treatment, as well as the efficacy of various treatment regimes.
