Session: Patient Portals: Viewing and Leveraging Your Medical Record
Presenter: Georgia Green, MEd, MBA, RHIA, CCS, CCP, CHDS, AHDI-F
Session Description:
A patient portal is a secure website that provides 24-hour access to personal health information. A wide variety of information can be made available through a patient portal, including visit notes, laboratory testing, medication lists, immunization, and much more. Some portals may include access to services such as messaging a provider, requesting prescription refills, and appointment scheduling. By knowing where to find patient portals that contain your protected health information and which specific information can be found there, you can use that information in a variety of ways to improve your own healthcare outcomes.
At the completion of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Name common features of patient portals.
2. Give examples of utilizing a patient portal to impact your own health outcomes.
3. Identify the differences between a commercial personal health record and a patient portal.
4. Explain federal law as it applies to information that must be made available via patient portal.
