The HealthCare Midwest Advantage

HealthCare Midwest is proud to be a premier provider of health care services to the communities of Southwest Michigan. High quality professionals, integrated services, efficient use of technology and exceptionally trained support staff make HealthCare Midwest a regional leader in the delivery of quality care.

Quality Physicians:
Only 71% of physicians statewide are Board Certified; however, 95% of HealthCare Midwest physicians are Board Certified, while the remaining 5% are Board Eligible! This Certification denotes that a physician has gone beyond the minimum requirement necessary for licensure and provides assurance that a physician has the appropriate knowledge, skills, and experience needed to deliver optimum care in a specific area of medicine.

Integrated Services:
Although HealthCare Midwest is comprised of 15 different primary care, specialty and sub-specialty practices, our providers collaborate with each other on a daily basis. The referral processes and inter-office communication is made most efficient through our team approach.  Consistent processes and systems combined with the expertise of a dynamic physician team allow for the highest degree of patient care.

Electronic Medical Records (EMR):
As a leader in the health care community, HealthCare Midwest is among the first physician groups in the nation to utilize comprehensive electronic medical records. Our healthcare team utilizes this system to fax hundreds of prescriptions daily, order and review results from lab and radiology tests, and maintain patient health information in an electronic format that provides accuracy, confidentiality, and instant access.

Benefits include:

  • Improved quality of patient care by providing physicians with comprehensive, easily accessible information to make patient care decisions.
  • Improved office efficiencies through a sophisticated workflow and messaging engine that streamlines clinical processes.
  • Enhanced patient safety through electronic prescribing tools with integrated, real-time medication screening and access to clinical information at the time of decision-making.

HealthCare Midwest began implementation in March of 2006 and expects to have all divisions fully utilizing EMR by July 2008.

Support Staff Training & Regulatory Compliance:
Not only does HealthCare Midwest offer superior providers, our support staff in each office is also comprised of highly skilled employees. HealthCare Midwest is committed to upholding the many regulations placed on healthcare providers. We, therefore, provide the most up to date staff training in Corporate Compliance, OSHA, HIPAA, JCAHO, AAAHC and other regulatory guidelines. Our employees also have opportunities to receive training in CPR, Customer Service and a variety of computer skills. The knowledge gained through our diverse training programs prepares the HealthCare Midwest team to give the best service to our patients.
