IGI’s ORBIT® Patient Portal is the optimum solution for achieving a uniform system which makes all appropriate health information and medical records available and accessible to a patient, while also enabling the patient and the patient’s family to collaborate with the patient’s care team.
Following are the salient features of the Patient Portal.
As one of the primary goals of the Orbit Patient Portal is to have the patient and the patient’s family as engaged as possible in the patient’s collaborative care, we also will make available to the your community the growing number of Patient Portal mobile apps (Apple and Android). Currently, the mobile app functionality includes:
Administrators can configure the Patient Portal look and feel across populations of patients, tailoring what certain groups of patients see when they log into the Portal. Administrators also set the roles and rules for patient types. For example, a certain group of patients would see the logo and the color schema of one hospital when they log in, another group would see a different look and feel. Administrators also set rules on what data from what hospitals get sent to what patient groups, etc.
Patients can configure the Patient Portal to better suit their unique needs. For example, changing font size, uploading a new picture, adding new links, and changing vital signs that display on the Dashboard.
If you have a Health Information Exchange (HIE) in place, we will interface with it, allowing for the secure, standards-based exchange of wide variety of data types and documents such as lab results, meds, allergies, secure messaging, discharge summaries, problem lists, referrals, plus a large number of additional data and document types, to and from the Patient Portal
The ‘Dashboard’ is a summary page that shows the patient the most important information to manage care. The following are the main features:
Patient Profile information includes the key consumer attributes. Information maintained in this module include:
This module is used for maintaining data about the following key health parameters. The data is shown in Grid format as well as charts (Bar Graphs, Line Charts). For example:
Alerts and Reminders can be sent by a provider or member of the provider’s staff, hospital, and other members of the care team. In addition, Reminders and Alerts can be generated to fire automatically, triggered by an event or other rule-based item.
The patient can view data related to their medical conditions. This information can come from a variety of sources: Hospital, provider, care manager, etc.
Via the Patient Portal’s Message Center, patients using the Patient Portal will be able to communicate electronically with their caregivers. Messages will be routed from the Message Center through the HIE to the provider’s EMR and vice versa. The patient can send message for a wide variety of reasons:
The Data Sharing section of the Patient Portal gives the patient the ability to opt in /out from sharing medical records, selectively. The consent can specify the data sets and is assigned to:
Patients can print and/or exchange documents and data with other systems using industry-standard transactions.
An interface will be built to the hospital’s patient billing system so that any outstanding patient payments will be visible to the patient via the Patient Portal. And, the patient can make secure online payments using a credit card.
