AAFP Asks Members to Sign Up for New Online Health Care Notification System
Posted on: Tuesday, May 12, 2009
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) is encouraging its members to sign up for a new health care online system, the Health Care Notification Network (HCNN). If 5% of AAFP members sign up from the link on this page , AAFP will receive a nominal fee. This system is more efficient than paper-based patient safety alerts and will give you an instant notification when one is issued. The service is free, does not include advertising and it only takes a couple of minutes to sign up.
The system replaces the “Dear Doctor” letters mandated by the FDA that traditionally appear by postal mail for recalls and alerts. “Online alerts from the HCNN are delivered immediately to a physician’s (e-mail) inbox,” said Henry DePhillips, M.D., HCNN’s chief medical officer. If the doctor doesn’t read the alert within 72 hours, they are mailed a paper copy of the alert, ensuring that it reaches them. This system not only saves the environment by cutting down on paper, it saves the government money and improves the overall operational efficiency of the system.
Imagine – no more massive piles of paper for you and your staff to deal with. HCNN currently reaches more than 250,000 physicians and 70,000 physician assistants. You can choose to add staff members to your alerts, which minimizes the chances that an alert will be missed. More on the new system on the AAFP website.
