Patient
Portal
meridianEMR's Patient Portal
is at the forefront of the shift to patient self-service and an improved patient experience. This product can be incorporated
into your office at a separate patient check-in area utilizing PCs, Macs, touchscreens, and/or iPads.
Using the internet to share information securely, the Patient Portal not only provides patients with
electronic access to their health information, but it also enables them to provide their medical information prior to visiting
your office. This helps reduce patient time spent filling out paper forms and staff time spent entering it into your
EHR system. Your practice will be able to improve data accuracy, streamline practice workflow, and free staff time for
better patient care.
