BG Sams U.S. Army Health Clinic –
Introduces a new model of Patient Centered System of Health

 

INSPIRATION – How healthcare should be

The Patient Centered Medical Home is a new model of healthcare being adopted across Military Healthcare and by leading civilian healthcare systems. Each patient partners with a team of healthcare providers – physicians, nurses, behavioral health professionals, pharmacists, and others – to develop a comprehensive, personal healthcare plan. That healthcare team works with each patient over time to take care of health issues as they arise, ensure delivery of prevention screening and services, manage chronic conditions, and promote a spirit of health, wellness and trust. At its heart, the Patient Centered Medical Home is healthcare the way it should be – easy to access, patient-centered, team based and quality focused.

QUALITY, SERVICE AND ACCESS

Patient Centered Medical Homes increase access to primary care, expand the definition of healthcare quality and reinvigorate our commitment to customer service.

QUALITY

In the Patient Centered Medical Home, the healthcare team develops a comprehensive care plan as soon as the patient enrolls and then proactively engages the patient as a partner in care. This focus on comprehensive, proactive care, team communication, and coordination of care advances our commitment to patient safety and healthcare quality.

SERVICE

The Patient Centered Medical Home is committed to a higher level of customer service. That higher level of customer service starts with same day service, giving you access to care when you need it.

ACCESS

The face-to face encounter builds trust, improves communication, and lays the groundwork for providing continuous care by your personal healthcare team. In addition, both patients and the healthcare team can take advantage of telephone and web-based communication to follow-up on health issues and concerns, share and update information, and coordinate care delivery.

A COMMON EXPERIENCE OF CARE – From location to location

Military Families are unique. Every few years we uproot, move to an unfamiliar location, make new ties, and learn how to navigate a new healthcare system. Army Medical Homes are designed to deliver a common experience of care that makes navigation of our healthcare system easier and more consistent as you move with the Army.

Patient Administration/Billing

Outpatient Records

DSN: 315-263-3455
Within Japan: 046-407-3455

The Outpatient Records Department is, most often, a patient's first stop when accessing care at BG Crawford F. Sams U.S. Army Health Clinic. This department specializes in a multitude of medical records management processes. Services available include:

Patient Registration - The Outpatient Records Department will verify eligibility for care by checking your ID card's expiration date and conducting an automated DEERS verification. Upon verification, you will then be registered into the Composite Health Care System (CHCS). Having current personal data on you and your family members is a critical element to providing you updates on healthcare programs or for enabling providers to contact you with test results or follow-up evaluations.

Release of Information - All releases or transmittals of medical records, information, medical statements, and preparation of copies of these documents are provided through the Outpatient Records Department. Due to the large volume of requests, customers requesting duplication of their medical records should submit their request in writing no less than thirty days in advance.

Patient Transportation

Within Japan: 046-407-3760

Ground Transport - Patients requiring transportation to Yokota Air Base's 374th Medical Group or the U.S. Naval Hospital @ Yokosuka must contact the Patient Movement Coordinator at least 48 hours in advance.

Air Evacuation - Receiving, evacuating, and transferring patients to other military treatment facilities outside of Japan is the most important patient accountability function that we provide. Patients who require air evacuation to Okinawa, Hawaii, or CONUS must coordinate with their Primary Care Manager.
