The role of Continuity of Care in the Medical Assistance of tourists in Greece
CrossBorderMedCare is a medical care provider that offers patientcentered healthcare services to international patients in Athens, Thessaloniki, Halkidiki and the rest of Greece.
Our services keep very high standards since the medical care of foreign citizens is very demanding. The structure of CrossBorderMedCare consists of services that provide a complete medical assistance to a foreign individual.
Our network of doctors and Hospitals cover all the medical needs of a tourist regardless the medical condition and regardless the fact that the traveler has to be treated as an outpatient or as an inpatient.
Primary care can be defined as the medical care given outside the hospital on an outpatient basis. Primary care is a 3phased process and consists of the phase of the initial evaluation, the phase of the diagnosis and decision making and the phase of treatment or referral to any kind of upgraded care.
The primary care is provided by our network of general practitioners. A general practitioner or family doctor is a physician that provides the primary medical care by dealing with all illnesses covering a variety of medical problems in patients of all ages. The initial evaluation, diagnosis and decision making are done by the general practitioner at the place of the incident and the correct treatment is decided whether it can be provided on the spot or the care must be upgraded. If the care must be upgraded then the tourist is transported by our ambulances to our hospitals where the secondary care starts.
The secondary care is provided by our highly specialized doctors of 15 different specialties at Athens Bioclinic Hospital and at Thessaloniki Bioclinic Hospital.
One of the most important issues for securing the quality of the medical assistance is the Continuity of Care.
Continuity of Care is secured if there is a central coordination between the different levels of the provided medical services. This teambased approach to healthcare is time effective and we know that time effectiveness together with quality are the most crucial factors in delivering patientcentered healthcare services of the highest standard.
