CareConnect is a system-wide initiative of Hartford HealthCare with the purpose of transforming the way we provide patient care. The efforts of CareConnect will align clinicians and caregivers around the patient in every setting, from inpatient to ambulatory care and including community physicians.

Using the industry-leading Epic software as a tool, we will improve the way we provide and coordinate care. We will equip ourselves with ways to move and use information so that we can effectively provide the right care at the right time and at the right place for everyone.

The CareConnect initiative is also the leading mechanism for delivery of our Five Ones:

  • One Registration: patients register once and their information is accessible to all HHC partners who provide care for them
  • One Health Record: always available and and-up-to date no matter where the patient seeks care
  • One Standard of Excellence: delivering the highest level of care throughout the entire organization
  • One Bill: a streamlined effort providing convenience and peace of mind
  • One Relationship: enabling HHC to become the provider of choice for our communities

Achieving these goals will help transform the care of the people we serve.
