work to help assess the reliability of medical information and
answer any potential questions.

Q: What are some ways that Roanoke's health
care industry is innovating health care?

A: One of the unique things is Carilion's use of the medical home
concept of delivering primary care.
A multidisciplinary care team works to make sure that a patient's overall health needs are met-not just the particular
needs the patient has at the time of a visit. This improves patients' access to the entire health care team while also encouraging them to take an active role in their own care.
For a patient who's fairly well, it's all about keeping them
healthy so that they don't need more advanced medical intervention in the future. For those who have chronic conditions, it's
focusing on patient engagement and helping them to manage
those conditions in partnership with us. For the patient already
with an advanced disease, it's helping them to navigate and use
all of the resources that are available to them.
Overall, the health care industry here is cutting edge. We're
capable of meeting a huge array of needs and are actively engaged both in research and in educating health care students
to be able to provide the same level of care in the future.
