Patient
Portal Success
Factors
For a portal to
catch on, health
care organizations
should focus on
two key areas,
says John Moore,
founder of Chilmark
Research, which
tracks the health
I.T. industry.
First, says, Moore,
the portal needs
to be promoted
by physicians.
"Physicians
need to talk it
up during the
visit as a great
way to interact
with the practice,"
Moore says. Second,
the portal needs
to give patients
access to a handful
of transactions
and services they
find most valuable,
Moore says. These
include access
to lab results,
the ability to
request appointments,
online bill paying
and access to
their own record.
"This is
the real basic
stuff patients
want to do online
with physicians,"
he says.
