Services

Technology is now here to stay in Medical Care. Our office connects with our patients every way we can. We care for patients up to 150 miles away and with Wyoming's weather, it isn't always easy for families to come to us.

We now have Telemedicine in use especially for follow up visits with patients. We are using it more and more to catch up to our kids with ADD/ADHD, Depression and minor illnesses. This allows us a more informal way to catch up to our kids with a technology they already understand and embrace.

We also have our staff call families with sick children we have recently seen but feel we need to touch base to make sure they are getting through their illness appropriately.

Finally, we have a portal system with secure email so families can communicate directly with us for medication refills, questions about a medical problem or give us a status update on a patient's recovery.

Our office is set up to allow office payments through our portal service!

 Medical Home Services

• Partnership: Provision of family-centered care through developing a trusting partnership with families, respecting their diversity and recognizing that they are the constant in a child’s life.
• Clarity: Sharing clear and unbiased information with the family about the child’s medical care and management and about the specialty and community services and organizations they can access.
• Primary care: Provision of primary care, including but not restricted to acute and chronic care and preventive services, including breastfeeding promotion and management, immunizations, growth and developmental assessments, appropriate screenings, health care supervision and patient and parent counseling about health, nutrition, safety, parenting, and psychological issues.
• Secondary care: Assurance that ambulatory and inpatient care for acute illnesses will be continuously available (24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year).
• Continuity: Provision of care over an extended period of time to ensure continuity. Transitions, including those to other pediatric providers or into the adult health care system, should be planned and organized with the child and family.
• Referrals: Identification of the need for consultation and appropriate referral to pediatric medical subspecialists and surgical specialists. (In instances in which the child enters the medical system through a specialty clinic, identification of the need for primary pediatric consultation and referral is appropriate.) Primary, pediatric medical subspecialty, and surgical specialty care providers should collaborate to establish shared management plans in partnership with the child and family and to formulate a clear articulation of each other’s role.
• Intervention: Interaction with early intervention programs, schools, early childhood education and childcare programs, and other public and private community agencies to be certain that the special needs of the child and family are addressed.
• Coordination: Provision of care coordination services in which the family, the physician, and other service providers work to implement a specific care plan as an organized team.
• Record-keeping: Maintenance of an accessible, comprehensive, central record that contains all pertinent information about the child, preserving confidentiality.
• Assessment: Provision of developmentally appropriate and culturally competent health assessments and counseling to ensure successful transition to adult-oriented health care, work, and independence in a deliberate, coordinated way.
