Mar 15, 2022 · For all outpatient appointments, one visitor is permitted to accompany a patient for an outpatient appointment, procedure, same-day surgery or LVPG office visit. Visitors will wear a face mask at all times. A mask will be provided to those who arrive without one. Visitors will be screened for symptoms of COVID-19.
LVHN’s portal, MyLVHN, allows patients to engage in a variety of activities , including patient self-scheduling, patient-entered questionnaires, e-visits, video visits, e-check-ins, and more. Notably, the patient-entered questionnaires–which can be completed through the portal or in the office using a Welcome Tablet–allow patients to provide important info to supplement the medical record, and allow providers to start each visit with more information, reducing encounter times and increasing patient satisfaction. Other benefits of the patient engagement strategies offered through the MyLVHN portal include improved efficiency, reduced phone calls, increased communication between patients and providers, and increased patient access to personal health information. LVHN’s portal use is still evolving, as the system is beginning to study portal utilization of sub-populations such as Medicare patients.
These preparatory efforts included two major health IT investments – transitioning to Epic as an enterprise electronic health record (EHR), and partnering with Optum to tie the clinical record with claims data to allow the network to make informed, tactical decisions about the deployment of resources. LVHN decided to leverage its technology to increase engagement, drive patient satisfaction, and support the triple aim. Utilizing an important infrastructure investment, the MyLVHN patient portal component of the Epic platform was a critical strategy for success. The following brief describes how LVHN’s patient portal became the vehicle through which the network has deployed multiple successful patient engagement strategies.
In all LVHN surgery waiting rooms, two visitors are permitted per patient. Visitors are being seated at least six feet away from one another. Visitors are encouraged to use the EASE app, which sends real-time updates to loved ones. Visitors who drive patient for surgery are asked if they are willing to leave their phone number and go to another location so they can be called when the patient is ready for discharge.
