The care team patients don ’ t always see What goes into each patient ’ s experience is , in many cases , something the patient doesn ’ t even see . Yet , the team approach is always in place . It transcends a person ’ s office visit or hospital stay and is second nature to Scott & White caregivers . In addition to the expertise of physicians and surgeons in virtually every area of medicine , the care team leverages the strength and knowledge of a diverse group . For example , the tumor board for cancer care convenes many caregivers at a meeting to discuss how to best approach a patient ’ s treatment for cancer . That meeting includes surgeons , medical oncologists , residents , fellows , pathologists , nurses , and other healthcare experts who are gathered for the sole goal of developing the best treatment plan for the person battling cancer . This behind-the-scenes effort to take care of our patients may not be easily visible to them , but it happens every day at Baylor Scott & White in Central Texas . Additionally , medical education and research continues to advance the practice of medicine and bring its innovations to the patient .
In addition , patients take an active role in their health management through innovative technology . The MyChart patient portal , introduced division-wide this year , empowers more than 50,000 patients who ’ ve signed up , easily allowing them to read reports and schedule appointments with their caregivers and renew prescriptions ,
