A healthcare advocate provides assistance to patients and their families while making decisions based on health. Your Tampa Healthcare Advocates is powered by pharmacist Patrick Alonso, he is passionate about reducing the stress involved with the healthcare system and empowering patients and their families to make high value informed decisions about their health and well-being.

We do not directly provide medical advice. The clinical decision making process is a collaboration from the entire healthcare team. Patrick will first consult with the patient/family about their needs, that is first and foremost. Once a realistic set of standards has been established Patrick will utilize his clinical knowledge and collaborate with the healthcare team on best practices to provide information to patients and families that is clear and beneficial to treatment. The rest is purely execution of the established plan.

Absolutely, we use servers compliant with HIPAA and with all federal and state laws to ensure your health information is secure. Respect to your healthcare privacy is a pillar to our organization. All interactions between BlueZone Healthcare Advocates and our clients is confidential.

In some cases yes you can access a healthcare advocate from a resource you may already have, however, you can be assured an independent advocate like Patrick has your wellbeing at the height of his priorities. In addition, Patrick specializes in one of the most confusing topics of all, medication management, which is rarely offered as an in depth service. Patrick doesn’t just check the boxes and move on, he works diligently to ensure your safety and wellbeing are the primary focus. Seeking an advocate from within an existing resource can be compared to trusting the blackjack dealer to deal you the correct cards. This may seem a little extreme but they work for the company you are trying to negotiate with, as the saying goes, “the house always wins.”

Medications are the largest expense most people will have in their healthcare experience. Many medications can be dangerous and cause nasty side effects or have contraindications. Many prescribers offices do not coordinate with one another and prescribing can become out of control to say the least. Patrick is here to consolidate this issue and organize your medication information, in addition, we use the most up-to-date guidelines and techniques to ensure the safest and most cost effective experience with medications possible. How many times have you heard that offer? Many are shocked that this is the core of our services because it is one rarely provided.

We believe care should not be limited to geography. We can set up video conference calls and remote meetings to ensure you are getting the quality care you deserve even if you are outside the coverage area.

Yes, but it is important to understand we are not a home health organization. House calls are designed to accommodate disabilities or ensure medications are dispensed at home safely, set up at-home techniques or assess and counsel on home fall-risk safety among other services. Our office is in Hyde Park in Tampa, Fl which is a short commute from most places in the Tampa Bay area.
