Communicating through the Portal e-MDs Patient Portal 6.2.0 6 Communicating through the Portal The Portal provides a convenient communication link between you and your clinic. For example, you might use Portal to send a message to a particular staff member, request a referral, request a medication refill, or schedule an appointment.
The Patient Portal is a web-based system that allows for secure communication and transfer of information between the clinic and the patient. When a patient logs in to the Portal, current data is pulled directly from the clinic’s e-MDs Solution Series database and displayed on the web page viewed by the patient.
After entering certain information (including the access code) in the login page, the patient representative will be able to access the Portal and view the information that is shown on the Health Summary, Visits/Results, and Providers tabs of your Patient Portal, as well as the information shown in the Audits section of the My Account tab.
To request a refill, click the check box next to the medication and then click the Request Refills button.
When a new message or health record is sent to your Patient Portal, the sender’s name will be listed in the My Notifications section on the Home tab.
If you log in to your Patient Portal and click the Family tab, you will see your name at the top of the tab, and there will be a check mark to the right of your name.
When your clinic creates a Patient Portal account for you, a message will be sent to the e-mail address you provided to the clinic. The message will contain the URL (Internet address) for your clinic's Patient Portal. It will also contain a user name and password, which you must use to log in to the Portal.
Some clinics allow patients to use the Patient Portal to request a refill for an existing prescription. Refill requests sent to the clinic through the Portal must be reviewed and approved by a clinic provider before they will be refilled.
