Results: By configuring Facets for comprehensive healthcare management, Pediatric/Cardiology Clinic PeaceHealth experiences the following outcomes.
- Improved Patient Experience: Patients can easily schedule appointments, access medical records, and communicate with healthcare providers through the patient portal, enhancing their overall experience.
