patient portals

Medical record access

Patient portals are secure websites or apps that give patients access to their medical records and healthcare services.

Through a portal, patients can view test results, request prescription refills, schedule appointments, and message their doctors: I checked my lab results on the patient portal.

Most hospitals and clinics now offer them as standard.
