Patients who have received care from a CHS-affiliated participating hospital can use their iPhones to securely receive and store important details from their medical records, including allergies, conditions, immunizations, labs, medications, procedures and vitals. Patients can also receive notifications whenever their data is updated.
“At CHS, we are rapidly expanding our digital health and consumer
engagement strategies to provide patients with more convenience, more
information, and more control over their healthcare experiences,” said
Previously, patients’ medical records were held in multiple locations, requiring patients to log into each care provider’s website and patient portal and piece together their health information manually. Now, medical information from each patient’s participating providers is organized into a single view with all of the available information stored together.
“Since most people keep their mobile devices with them, this means all of that medical information is accessible whenever it is needed. We are literally putting health data in the palm of the patient’s hand, which can be critical in an emergency and also enables patients to have more informed conversations with all of their physicians,” said Dr. Simon.
