Mission
To provide state-of-the-art medical care and customer service in an environment dedicated to teaching these principles and discovering new ways to achieve them.
To realize our mission, we want you to have:
- Access to the best minds in medicine.
- As Baylor College of Medicine faculty members, our physicians are researchers, educators and clinicians, combined. They are exposed daily to the latest scientific discoveries, challenged regularly as they train the next generation of physicians and scientists, and committed to setting new standards in patient care and satisfaction.
- Information technologies that improve the quality and availability of care.
- We're committed to using the power of information technology to improve patient and physician communication. When fully implemented, our electronic medical records will ensure every Baylor College of Medicine physician has instant access to your patient information, improving safety, coordinating care and expediting your treatment. We're also developing Web-based tools and processes to help you quickly and easily contact your physician, schedule appointments and better manage your healthcare.
- Personalized medicine.
- Baylor College of Medicine is transforming the future of human health and healthcare through the discovery and delivery of personalized medicine. Our researchers are leading the way with new discoveries that link specific genes to common diseases like breast cancer, advancing our ability to predict, treat and prevent disease based on each patient’s unique genetic makeup. In July 2007, we broke ground on a new Baylor Clinic and Hospital that will be the first facility in the Texas Medical Center designed from the ground up to deliver personalized medicine.
- Innovative medical therapies.
- As a research-intensive medical school, we are dedicated to a rapid pace of discovery and its equally rapid translation to patient care. You can benefit from that discovery and may qualify for participation in the latest clinical trials.
- Collaborative care.
- At Baylor Clinic, you'll find a multi-specialty environment where leading physicians collaborate to achieve greater benefits for the patients they serve – the best minds working together to discover and deliver the best medicine and the best possible patient care.
- Timely care.
- Good healthcare shouldn't require a long wait. We are committed to expediting your diagnosis and treatment through advanced technologies and scientifically proven treatments, and to fulfilling our vision of a clinical practice that gets you in quickly to see your physician and minimizes wait times once you arrive.
- A "You first" approach to healthcare.
- We're putting the focus of healthcare back where it belongs: on you, the patient. Baylor Clinic was designed to provide the best possible care and the best possible patient experience. Our goal is to deliver healthcare the way it should be - convenient, friendly, respectful of your time, efficient, comprehensive, safe, and effective in preventing, diagnosing and treating disease.
