According to the Whanganui Chronicle,Whanganui Regional Health Network (WRHN) is offering patients another way to access their health records through the ManageMyHealth, patient portal.
Patients are able to access a range of services and information including their lab results and health records such as prescriptions, allergies, diagnoses and recalls.
They are also able to send secure messages to their doctor or nurse and request repeat prescriptions, book appointments and receive recall reminders.
The majority of practices that fall under the WRHN are now offering the portal, with the remainder implementing it this year. It is exciting to see the practices currently participating are Aramoho Health Centre, Bulls Medical Centre, Gonville Health, Impilo Family Practice, Springvale Medical Centre, St Johns Medical Centre, Stewart St Surgery, Taihape Health and Wicksteed House Medical Centre.
Each practice will determine what services it will make available, and some services may have a fee.
The system is easy to use and its quick to get started. Once patients have registered through their general practice and activated their account, they will be able to access their personal health information from any internet device, including the mobile app.
