Microsoft Health Vault
Microsoft HealthVault is proud of its status as an untethered PHR. Patient advantages include the ability to store and manage personal health care data and take it with you even if you move, change doctors, or have multiple doctors at different hospitals. Almost 300 applications are linked to the HealthVault platform, including apps that manage allergies, diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. In addition, HealthVault connects end users with more than 70 devices, such as blood pressure and blood glucose monitors, weight scales, pedometers, and peak flow meters, enabling consumers to track and share their health information as they wish. Dossia Dossia provides an untethered PHR that draws from multiple data sources and allows the patient to keep the PHR even upon changing to a new health plan, doctor, or employer. The Dossia Personal Health Record can be used as a flexible platform from which to launch a myriad of employee health benefits programs. Dossia is independent of any funding from online advertising or Internet searches, and it keeps data completely private. MedSeek MedSeek's PHR offers patients a one-stop-shop. It pulls in data from back-end clinical systems while also allowing patients to enter data. MedSeek executives refer to this as a collaborative environment in which patients can engage in their own care. On the provider end, it helps organizations achieve Meaningful Use, while at the same time creating a lasting health-related loyalty with patients and their families, MedSeek says The product lets users consolidate inpatient, outpatient, and patient-provided health information into a single repository, making the organization the center of the patient's health management process. Relay Health This PHR lets patients obtain and manage their personal health records, request medications and refills/renewals, send notes to physicians and/or office staff, and request appointments or lab and test result consultations with physicians online via its webVisit feature. Another popular feature of RelayHealth's PHR is its patient satisfaction surveys. RelayHealth says its consumer feedback indicates that patients appreciate the time savings that they experience. Because patients have 24/7 customer service support, they feel more connected to their physicians and staff members, the vendor says. In addition, questions and concerns can be addressed more quickly, and follow-up for chronic conditions is more efficient, the vendor says. The Patient Portal Helps provider organizations improve communication and enhance patient care. This system includes several patient-access services designed to improve communication with patients and ease administrative processes. Using Patient Portal, providers can send appointment reminders, provide new patient registration forms, share lab results and EMR data, conduct e-visits, and send attachments such as documents or images. Patients can also use the Patient Portal to fill prescriptions; update demographic information; request, reschedule, or cancel appointments or directly book appointments within Cerner Millennium Appointment Book; and view their medical fees online and quickly make a payment. They can also view their clinical information from their Cerner Millennium EMR and educational material. Epic/My Chart MyChart, from Epic Systems, gives patients controlled access to the same Epic medical records their doctors use, and it provides convenient self-service functions that Epic executives say reduce costs and increase satisfaction. Because MyChart is integrated with the EMR, it's easy for patients to get involved in their own healthcare. These self-serve online functions allow patients to take an active role in their care and reduce the costs of providing service, Epic says. Patients also have the ability to view test results, view problem-based educational materials, schedule appointments, request refills, pay bills securely, view a child's records and print growth charts, as well as manage the care of elderly parents. Unlike MyChart, Epic's freestanding PHR Lucy is not connected to any facility's electronic medical record system. Lucy puts interoperability under the control of patients. Records stored in Lucy are not tethered to any facility's electronic medical record system. Instead, they stay with patients--accessible from a thumb drive or online via browser--wherever they receive care. Patients can enter health data directly into Lucy, pull in data from multiple MyChart accounts, or upload standards-compliant Continuity of Care Documents from non-Epic facilities. Epic's Care Everywhere software can also retrieve documents from Lucy, making this information available for review as part of the electronic chart. Also, Lucy is free of two significant obstacles to patient PHR adoption. It includes no advertisements, and Epic will not sell patient data stored on it for secondary uses. Centricity GE Healthcare markets Centricity Patient Online as a flexible, scalable, and highly configurable patient portal designed for large healthcare organizations.

A physicians' practice can, for example, send patients reminders, statements, patient education materials, and lab results electronically. Among the features the portal offers patients are the ability to enter medical history online, send messages to doctors' offices, complete new patient registrations, conduct Web consults, refill prescriptions, check lab results, schedule appointments, view account statements, and obtain patient educational materials. With eClinicalWorks Patient Portal, providers can securely communicate with patients, view patient history, post lab and imaging results to the portal, obtain referral requests, and send educational materials directly to the patient. Allscripts Patient Portal The Allscripts Patient Portal, from Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, is powered by Intuit Health. In partnership with Allscripts, Intuit Health provides an online CCR/CCD-compliant tool that allows patients to easily view, update, correct, and share their health data. The tool's sharing capabilities make it useful for patients with chronic conditions, and it addresses Meaningful Use qualifications. Like many of the other products mentioned, this portal gives patients access to personal health information, helping patients view, update, manage, and share their information.
