Terms & Conditions Your request to receive automated voice and text messages from us, your healthcare provider, constitutes your agreement to these terms and conditions. You agree that we may send you automated voice and text messages through your wireless provider to the valid mobile or landline number that you have provided us. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us, our technology service vendor – Healow LLC, our electronic medical record vendor – eClinicalWorks, LLC, and its affiliated companies harmless from any third-party claims, liability, damages or costs arising from your request to receive automated voice or text messages or from providing us, your healthcare provider, with a phone number that is not your own.

Consent for HIE – Health Information Exchange Electronic exchange of clinical information allows doctors, nurses, pharmacists, other health care providers, and patients to access and securely share a patient's vital medical information electronically. This improves the speed, quality, safety, coordination, and cost of patient care. Your medical record is stored electronically in eClinicalWorks, a computer software program. As your healthcare provider, we participate in health information exchange networks such as Carequality and CommonWell Health Alliance in order to secure access and share patient information. Patient consent is required for information exchange with outside facilities. By initialing on the acknowledgement form, you are consenting to allow us to access and share your vital information related to your healthcare, or you can choose to opt-out of HIE by not initialing.

HOW DOES HIE HELP YOU? • Helps your doctor share information – Allows your different doctors to have more secure, quick access to your important health information. This

includes health facilities you visit near home as well as while you are traveling in the U.S.• Gets you faster and better care – With less time wasted on tracking down your test results and other information, your health care providers can

spend more time on your care. • Supports you in case of emergency – There may be a time when you don’t have the ability to share your health information. Medical staff could

immediately access your allergies, medications and health problems.• Protects your data – Electronic sharing is more secure than a fax or paper file, which could easily be lost or viewed without permission.
