Collaborative Environment
In addition to our vast resources and expertise in cardiology, doctors in the UT Southwestern Health System work closely together and are connected via a patient’s single electronic medical record that contains the patient's entire health history, including tests, imaging, visit notes, OR records, and more.
That patient information is available to our entire team, so our general cardiologists can ensure smooth access to whatever subspecialty care is needed – quickly and efficiently.
For instance, if a patient needs specialized cardiology care or specialty care in any other discipline (for example, endocrinology or gastroenterology), our general cardiologists will ensure access to the appropriate specialist within the UT Southwestern Health System ( not sure I like the part about “any other discipline”…as a sub specialist myself, I do not want to refer patients inappropriately. I would suggest deleting this paragraph but open to discussing).
