You also have the ability to receive real-time notifications when a patient is admitted to Blessing’s hospital and can securely message Blessing’s medical caregivers regarding patient care.  

Can EpicCare Link providers contact the Blessing's provider who treated a patient with questions about test results?

Yes. EpicCare Link users can directly communicate with a patient’s Blessing’s care team by using “In Basket”. This tool should be used for non-time-sensitive items. It is also important to note that “In Basket” messages are considered written communication which may be subject to disclosure in legal proceedings. 

Are referring providers able to place imaging orders and have results available to them?

Yes. If imaging is available with the results, the providers will receive a link and will be able to view them.
