Connect with your patients online through a secure, EMR-integrated ambulatory surgery patient portal.
With the healthcare industry’s push toward more patient-centered care and the EHR Incentive Program encouraging patient engagement, the need for online ambulatory surgery patient portal software is growing. Furthermore, patients are increasingly turning to the Internet for medical information, making the case for implementing a specialty specific online portal is strong.
IMS’ online healthcare ambulatory surgery patient portal is a completely integrated solution that brings healthcare professionals and patients together. Our online portal allows patients to access their personal health record from anywhere, through any Internet-connected device. Through the ambulatory surgery portal, patients can update their personal information and complete necessary health forms before visiting the doctor. This not only helps reduce waiting times for patients, but it allows staff to make better use of their time.

Through our online ambulatory surgery portal, patients can request appointments quickly, easily, and at their own convenience. This saves time for the patient and for your employees too.

Submitting refill requests this way is more convenient for patients and allows doctors and staff to use their time more productively.
