The PAMF Innovation Center has established a strategic alliance with Avenidas village, a program created by the community-based, not for profit organization Avenidas to help seniors stay in their homes they love," says Paul Tang, M.D., PAMF's chief innovation and technology officer.

"Any PAMF patient who is also a member of Avenidas Village is now tagged in PAMF’s electronic health records. In our connector role, we can direct seniors to the services of Avenidas Village, whether they need transportation to medical appointments or help transitioning from a hospital back to home. Conversely, with the patient’s permission, Avenidas village can be the eyes and ears to alert clinicians if a PAMF patient has a change in his or her health condition," says Dr. Tang.
