What is Patient portal?
Patients increasingly expect online access and self-service, just as with their bank. A patient portal offers secure access to the record, results and appointments, and lets patients self-schedule, request repeat prescriptions and send messages.
Unlike a standalone app, a patient portal has to integrate securely with your EHR or record, support authenticated login and link to the calendar and messaging.
Key features of a patient portal
- Online access to record, results and appointments
- Self-scheduling and repeat-prescription requests
- Secure messaging with the practice
- Authenticated login
- Integration with the EHR or record
In healthcare, strict requirements apply to privacy (GDPR) and secure access. A good portal relieves the front desk and engages the patient without compromising security. When comparing, what matters is integrations, secure login and usability.
What to look for when choosing a patient portal
- whether the portal integrates securely with your record
- references from comparable practices or institutions
- authenticated login and compliance
- usability for both patient and staff
- implementation time, training and vendor support
A portal that does not integrate well creates double work. Selecting sharply up front on integrations, security and usability prevents disappointment after go-live.
