HIGH QUALITY CARE
Twelve Mile Creek Family Medicine has achieved Level 2 Recognition as a Patient-Centered Medical Home from the National Committee for Quality Assurance. NCQA measures health care quality improvement among physicians who deliver superior care using standards firmly rooted in medical evidence. To date, nearly 10,000 physicians nationwide have been recognized by NCQA in the areas of diabetes care, cardiovascular care, back pain care and practices that systematically provide preventive and chronic care.
We are a group of individuals committed to providing high quality, compassionate care to our patients utilizing the best technology available. The unique tools we use to ensure you receive the best care possible include:
Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
Without a doubt, the use of EMR in healthcare will have as big an impact on healthcare as the discovery of penicillin, the X-ray, or the smallpox vaccine. If your communications, finances, and travel plans are all electronic, why not your most important asset: your health.
Instant Medical History (IMH)
Also known as the "questionnaire." This tool allows us to organize and review your complaints prior to your visit so that we can spend our time together more efficiently. Studies show that physicians are not spending the time with patients that they should, and with IMH we can concentrate on what matters most: you.
Electronic Prescribing
We are one of the few practices in South Carolina that have utilized this technology since its inception. Your prescriptions are sent directly to the pharmacy electronically. This includes 90-day mail-in companies like MedCo and CVS Caremark. The result is fewer medical errors and usually allows you to stop in and pick up your prescription without waiting.
Virtual Office Visits (VOV)
We are proud to offer online visits, which are available 24/7. Although this service will never replace face-to-face visits, there are several issues we can discuss and treat in the comfort of your own home.
FAMILY-ORIENTED SERVICES
As family physicians and nurse practitioners, we offer a broad scope of practice and services to meet the needs of every member of your family:
A COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP
On August 1, 2008, Twelve Mile Creek Family Medicine joined with Palmetto Health. For patients who have been with us for some time, this partnership will not affect the experience you have as a patient in the office. In fact, it now provides you, as a patient, with a great many additional resources. Explore the Palmetto Health Website to find specialists for referral or to find convenient locations for tests. Your physicians work closely with hospitalists at Palmetto Health to ensure continuity of care when you are discharged from the hospital. The records of your hospitalization will be sent to Twelve Mile Creek for your doctor to review. (Please note that providers at Twelve Mile Creek Family Medicine no longer admit patients to the hospital.)
We constantly strive to improve our system and services and welcome your feedback to provide you the highest quality of service and best experience possible.
