Connect with CHRISTUS

Delivering health care in America today demands that physicians balance taking care of people – the very reason they entered the health care field – with managing the details of their practice.  Rising health care costs, controversial reforms, market forces, the rise of accountable care and consumer expectations are changing the health care landscape.  Today’s doctor must navigate this new and complicated normal, while delivering quality, compassionate care to patients. Now, CHRISTUS Health introduces a portfolio of practice management services that can help physicians manage and grow their independent practice and improve financial performance, while focusing on patient care. Participating physicians will be CHRISTUS Health Affiliated Physician Program, and as such will have direct access to CHRISTUS preferred vendors of practice management services.  These vendors already are vetted and doing business with CHRISTUS Health. CHRISTUS Affiliated Physicians contract and work directly with vendors at discounted rates, and enjoy premium customer service guarantees.  There is no financial obligation between CHRISTUS Affiliated Physicians and CHRISTUS Health.

Vendor services include:

• Practice management and workflow technologies that improve efficiencies
• Supply chain management
• Discount service agreements
• Connectivity to hospital records
• Discounted practice management software
• Physician professional liability program providing comprehensive and affordable coverage with supporting risk education and services

Standardized Order Sets

CHRISTUS is currently in the process of developing system-wide standardized order sets. These order sets will serve as the core library of order sets supporting Computerized Patient Order Management (CPOM). The plan is to release the order sets for use as they are approved by our Medical Board. This will assist us in achieving quality care benefits associated with the standardization and streamlining of care.  In addition, it will familiarize physicians with the use of standardized order sets.  As we move forward, we will realize additional benefits of significant improvement in patient safety (reduction in errors), improved clinical outcomes, increased efficiency and enhanced documentation for regulatory organizations.
