What are patient portals?

Patient portals generate many associated mandatory and medical compliance issues. Practices must consider their business associates and chain-of-trust issues that arise when sending information by electronic transmission. Medical companies deal with insurance companies, Internet service providers, labs, pharmacies, billing and coding services, hospitals and other practices across different medical-related specialties.

How do portals benefit patients?

The benefits of patient portals increase exponentially with each patient who uses one, so encouraging patients and their families to use the portals can strengthen the cost-value and time-saving advantages of the technology. Surveys show that medical practices can optimize portal use by engaging Millennials and Baby Boomers to meet Stage 2 Medicare/Medicaid requirements, but these campaigns can work effectively for all patients. [3] Business concerns necessarily impact each medical practice, but decision-makers can enhance the benefits of adopting patient portals with strong campaigns to encourage patient use. Best practices for optimizing patient use include:

What are the challenges of implementing HIPAA compliant patient portals?

The challenges of implementing HIPAA compliant patient portals depend on a provider's IT infrastructure and its operating system's complexity and interoperability. There are also the legal and regulatory requirements that include meeting mandatory HIPAA guidelines and voluntary best practices. The challenges of HIPAA compliant portal development include:

What stakeholders are involved in developing a patient portal?

These include the practice's senior leadership, patient advocates in the community, risk management stakeholders like insurers and legal counsel, physicians and clinicians and marketing staffs and health information management professionals who need to sell the benefits of using the patient portal to patients, caregivers and even some staff members who might hesitate to interact with patients electronically. Patient portals enhance communications, and sounding out these stakeholders is essential for developing an effective portal because each will be using the technology at ever-increasing rates.

What is the HIPAA Privacy Rule?

The HIPAA Privacy Rule gives patients the right to obtain copies of their medical records, treatments and protected health information or PHI. These requirements go further if medical providers want to receive reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid -- patients must be able to access their records online, download copies and transmit the information to third-party providers. Most medical practices are finding it necessary to develop patient portals where patients and physicians can interact, share information and perform important functions such as practices billing patients and accepting payments online. HIPAA standards rule requires that these patient portals have strong security and privacy protections to prevent unauthorized access of these confidential PHI records.

Secure & HIPAA Compliant Patient Portals

The chief consideration in patient portal design is security. If your patient portals are not secure, you run the risk of failing to maintain HIPAA compliance, which can put your whole practice in jeopardy. Clarity has a standard way in which we maintain HIPAA compliance within our patient portals.

Patient Portal Design Considerations

Remember: while your patient portal can speed up many important processes and make the patient much happier, it should never replace the personal attention of a healthcare practitioner.

Selecting Your Patient Portal Vendors

As you look into patient portal vendors, consider not just the development aspects but also the “human” aspects of a company’s role in your patient portal design. A good patient portal vendor or developer will be able to intuit your patient’s unique needs and provide a design to suit them.
