Community Connect
Delivering a remarkable electronic health record experience to your independent practice
Novant Health recognizes the unique challenges facing each of the independent specialty and primary care physicians who partner with us. Through our Community Connect program, we bring Epic to your practice to offer a robust suite of applications that improves continuity of care and your patients' experience. The platform is designed to deliver a world-class electronic health record (EHR) that meets your practice needs — and beyond — at an affordable price.
Recognized solutions
Novant Health Community Connect has achieved prevalidation recognition for solutions used with Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) and Patient-Centered Specialty Practice (PCSP) programs. This recognition is from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving health care quality. Prevalidation is a voluntary review process.
"By providing software that helps physician practices build the patient-focused, coordinated care infrastructure expected of NCQA patient-centered medical homes and patient-centered specialty practices, Novant Health is helping practices be part of modern health care’s most important transformations,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “Medical homes are the way of the future, and Novant Health Community Connect is helping practices get there."
