Connect with your patients online through a secure, EMR-integrated orthopedic patient portal.
With the EHR Incentive Program and a focus towards patient-centered care encouraging patient interaction, the requirement for clinics to have online orthopedic patient portal software is growing. Patients are now looking online for health information, making the case for having a specialty specific online portal strong.
The IMS’ online healthcare orthopedic patient portal is a fully integrated solution that helps to enhance the relationship between healthcare professionals and patients. The online portal allows patients to access personal health records from anywhere, through an Internet-connected device. Through the orthopedic portal, patients are able to update personal information and to fill in health information prior to visiting their doctor. This not only helps to reduce patient waiting times, but it can also help staff to make better use of their time, rather than wasting time on simple administrative tasks.
