Coming Soon . . . Patient Portals; Live Demos at Eat Well, Be Well, Feel Well!

March 17, 2014 9:28 AM

As the health industry moves toward engaging and encouraging patients to take control of their own health matters, the Employee Benefit Funds will be releasing a “patient portal” during the last week in March. A patient portal is a secure website that patients can use to view and interact with their medical information via the Internet.

The patient portal allows for communications without the delay of ground mail, missed phone calls or misinterpreted voice messages.

Members and their enrolled dependents who attend Eat Well, Be Well, Feel Well at the Health Centers next week will be able to view live demos of the HappyHealthyMe patient portal and sign up for the free service.

Through HappyHealthyMe patients 18 years of age or older who use the Health Centers will be able to go online to:

● View vitals, like blood pressure readings.

● View upcoming appointments and make new ones.

● Request cancellations and reschedule appointments.

● View non-sensitive lab results.

● View allergies, immunizations and active medications.

● Request medication refills or renewals of Health Center prescriptions.

● Request updates to their personal demographics (address, phone number, etc.).

Parents can also set up accounts to manage the health of their children.

Considering this rough winter and our usual busy schedules, wouldn’t it be nice to securely manage your health care from the convenience of your home? Sign up in the first 30 days for your complimentary gift bag from HappyHealthyMe!
