ONLINE PATIENT CARE

DrisOnline.com’s patient portal allows you to get non-urgent healthcare online. Non-urgent care is any routine check-up, follow-up visit, maintenance or ongoing chronic condition upkeep visit, treatment program reminders, and any other medical or good health maintenance interaction you might normally have at your doctor's office for a complaint or condition that is not an emergency. Whether or not you know what your current condition is, you can fill out a questionnaire your doctor has approved and describe your symptoms, video record a message for your doctor showing him the condition you are concerned about. Upload your vital signs, like Blood Pressure, EKG, Blood Tests, Stethoscope heart and breath sounds and video exam light. The message reaches your doctor in the form of an email alert which becomes part of your Electronic Medical Record. You will get an acknowledgement that your message has been sent and a follow-up alert will issue if your message is not replied to within a certain amount of time. Your doctor reviews your video message, studies the symptom questionnaire, and looks up your vital sign data and online EMR before deciding whether or not to diagnose your condition online or ask you to come in for tests, blood work, or some other physical evidence needed for information about your condition. If you need to schedule in-person appointment, your doctor will advise you of this and you can use DrisOnline's set an appointment/Test feature to book your appointment immediately, listing your first and second choices for the date and time.

Your electronic medical records, your personal health record, with all your family medical history and your individual clinical history, your questionnaire stating your reasons for an online visit and answers to detailed symptom questions, your video showing your recent appearance and demeanor while you explain your symptoms, and complete set of diagnostic tests. This is as much information as your doctor has available after you have waited several hours in his office, a clerk has fetched your paper chart and medical records, a nurse has done a preliminary examination and asked you a few vital questions, another clerk has looked up your insurance records, someone has prepared your bill, and your doctor has spend on average four to five minutes looking at you and talking to you. Instead, you and your doctor have spent at most ten to fifteen minutes of your collective time - and when it was convenient for both of you.
