Personal Health Record

The RelayHealth Personal Health Record (PHR) allows you, your staff, and your patients to view, update, correct, and share the patient's medical information. Mistakes can be eliminated and collaboration can be enhanced when everyone is viewing and adding to the same record. The RelayHealth PHR is part of a complete healthcare communications service. That means that the PHR is automatically presented and updated as care is being provided, for instance, all eScripts are added to the patient's medication record. Patients can also upload files such as personal documentation or other scanned lab results. Your practice can access PHR information when you respond to patient messages, or create eScripts, referrals, and appointment requests.
