How does Wy/Jo Care work?
Wy/Jo Care serves as a centralized point of entry for safety net clinics patient specialty referrals. We maintain a referral database to guarantee that only the number of patients each physician has agreed to accept will be referred to their practice. Patients are assigned to specialists on a rotating basis to ensure an equal distribution of these patients among the physicians who signed up to participate. A similar rotating assignment protocol is used for the hospital-based laboratory, imaging studies, surgeries and inpatient care as needed. Patients are referred to Wy/Jo Care by physicians and health care providers working in the safety net clinics or public health departments including: Duchesne Clinic, Health Partnership Clinic of Johnson County, Mercy & Truth Medical Missions, Silver City Clinic, Southwest Boulevard Family Health Care Services, Swope Health West, Swope Health Wyandotte, and Turner House Clinic for Children. Wy/Jo Care staff schedules the patients first appointment
