How do I find out more about using a Patient Portal?
Patients are able to access their health information from any internet-connected device. This means that patients can keep track of their health records, medications, and appointments from anywhere in the world. Patients can also manage their health data on the Patient Portal website.
The Patient Portal website provides an easy way for patients to access their medical history, track medications, communicate with their doctor and other healthcare providers, and more. Patients can create an account on the Patient Portal website if they: have a valid email address; are registered with a Medicare or Medicaid provider; or are a patient at a hospital participating in the Patient Portal program. After creating an account, patients will need to enter their name and email address to create a password.
Once logged in, patients will be able to: view their medical history; view current medications and allergy information; view lab results; view appointment schedules; communicate with their doctor and other healthcare providers; and more. For some features on the Patient Portal website, such as messaging and communication, patients will need to create a login profile. A login profile is a unique set of credentials that allows patients to access certain features on the Patient Portal website using one account rather than multiple accounts.
