What is Patient Home Page?

We offer our patients the ability to create their own “Personal Health Record” which includes history & physical, lab & x-rays, medication list, and physician progress notes etc.

Personal Health Record:

We believe that Personal Health Record is the right forum for people to create their own electronic personal health record, including history & physical, lab & x-rays, medication list, and physician progress notes. A Personal Health Record (PHR) is an electronic application through which the individuals can access, manage and share their personal health information, and that of others for whom they are authorized, in a private, secure, and confidential environment. The way to collect and gather all your personal health information is to: (a) contact each doctor you have seen and each hospital you have been admitted to in the past 12 months and have them mail, fax and/or email you your medical records, and (b) scan those records into your PHR for permanent safekeeping. We envision an environment in which health information about our patients flows seamlessly among systems used by doctors, authorized health professionals, and other caregivers.

Our goal is to provide you with a robust, secure and flexible data capture and authentication system through which you can aggregate all of your health information into one independent, lifelong personal health record - for permanent safekeeping. This health records will be secure and private, accessible only by you (through a password key that we will provide you) or by those you have granted permission. Records also will be portable, enabling individuals to continue using the records even if they change employers, health plans or doctors. Your personal health record will contain at a minimum the following and may require consistent updates and edits.
