Overview
Patient eHealth Portal
A patient portal is a secure online website, accessible through PC or mobile device, that gives patients convenient 24-hour access to personal health information from anywhere with an Internet connection. Using a secure username and password or a security token device, patients can view health information and perform a variety of actions.
Patient portal helps to enhance patient-provider communication, empowers patients, support care between visits, and, most importantly, improves patient outcomes.
