Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) patients will now be able to view and share their imaging records via the web.
Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) has partnered with PocketHealth so patients can use technology for secure web access to do it from any device, anywhere.
Historically, patients would have to order and pick up a compact disc from MAHC’s sites every time they wanted to review new exams or wanted a copy for personal records.
CEO Natalie Bubela says a common-sense replacement for compact discs in the digital age, launching PocketHealth at MAHC is an opportunity to help patients and others within their circle of care have access to their imaging records while reducing the time and cost burden of CD copies.
Referring physicians often require the images themselves
and with PocketHealth, they can now receive imaging and reports electronically quickly.
“PocketHealth empowers patients by providing them with easy access to their own health data and better supports the delivery of imaging and reports to their physicians without a trip to the hospital,” adds Bubela.
Patients can enroll for personal access to their imaging records by clicking here for a $5 fee at the time of enrolment, which includes permanent access to all previous digital imaging as well as any new exams in the subsequent two weeks.
Patients can access their future imaging records anytime for additional $5 fees.
MAHC joins over 500 other hospitals, clinics and mobile imaging sites across North America that has deployed the PocketHealth platform for their patients.
