The Portal simplifies access to timely health information by making it accessible to patients and their families from one central location. The Portal allows users to:

• See allergies, conditions
• Review active home medications
• View some lab results and radiology results from imaging studies
• Review discharge instructions from previous visits
• Update personal data, including contacts and demographic information

The Portal protects access to this sensitive information through a number of security measures, including URL rewriting, encryption, and customer-defined timeouts.

The Patient and Consumer Health Portal allows patients and their families to see data from both acute and ambulatory visits to the Hospital. Patients can review visit details and update information. Users also benefit from access to preventative care information and immunizations.

From the Portal’s Billing tab, patients and family members can see details for both current and past accounts, which include the date of service, total balance, and patient responsibility for each account.

Seamless and system-wide exchange of information ensures patients have timely access to their health information. Healthcare staff also benefit from improved communication and engagement with patients and their families. Integrated features include:

• Updates to demographic or contact information made in the Profile area of the Portal’s Health Information Management.
• Integration with the Revenue Cycle allows patients to see billing information, decreasing the need for paper copies of billing documentation.

Patients have access to visit histories, discharge instructions, and a Patient Health Summary, ensuring them access to important health information and follow up materials after leaving the healthcare facility.
