DO YOU NOTIFY MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN?
Yes. After every visit, a letter is dictated and sent to your primary care physician. We are also in frequent telephone contact with them. Our physicians also work closely with your primary care physician in the hospital setting if you are hospitalized. Your cardiologist can recommend one if you do not have a primary care physician. If you switch primary physicians, please notify our staff so we can arrange to have further evaluations sent correctly.
Let’s review how CVG works with your primary care physician to ensure the best heart health outcomes for you.
At our Atlanta cardiology practice, we understand that comprehensive heart care requires a team approach. Our cardiologists work closely with your primary care physician to ensure that you receive seamless, coordinated care for all your heart-related concerns. This collaborative approach allows us to provide you with the most effective and personalized treatment possible.
When you first visit one of our Atlanta cardiologists, we begin by gathering your medical history and any relevant information from your primary care physician. This includes previous test results, medication lists, and notes on your overall health. Our team then conducts a thorough cardiovascular evaluation, incorporating this background information to comprehensively understand your heart health.
CVG’s cardiologists maintain open lines of communication with your primary care physician. We regularly share updates on your cardiovascular health, including test results, treatment plans, and any changes in medication. This ensures that your primary care doctor is always informed about your heart health status and can integrate this information into your healthcare plan. We consider how cardiac treatments might interact with other medications or health issues, ensuring a holistic approach to your care.
When it comes to making important decisions about your heart health, our cardiologists involve both you and your primary care physician. We believe that shared decision-making leads to better outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.
If your primary care physician identifies a potential heart issue during a routine check-up, they can easily refer you to our Atlanta cardiology team. Our streamlined referral process ensures that you receive prompt attention for any cardiovascular concerns. After your cardiology appointment, we provide detailed feedback to your primary care doctor for seamless follow-up care. You can also visit our offices to have your heart doctor evaluate you without a referral.
We utilize secure electronic health record systems to facilitate quick and efficient information sharing between our cardiology team and your primary care physician. This technology enables real-time updates and allows both healthcare providers to access your most current medical information, ensuring continuity of care.
