What is Patient Portal? - Electronic Patient Record
Patient Portal is a part of EMR / EHR. It is an online
application through which providers and patients communicate with each other
and is one of essential parts of Meaningful Use Criteria.
This falls into two
main categories –
- Providing patients with direct access to some
parts of their health record.
- Providing patient, drug to drug and disease education.
Patient portals specifically provide a mode of communication between provider and the patient. Providers issue patients, a unique username and password through which patients can access their health records.
