One way to do so is with a patient portal designed and developed by an innovative medical marketing and advertising company, such as DDA Medical. Through an Internet connection, patients and healthcare providers are able to access patient portal technologies all hours of the day at a time most convenient with their schedule.

Read on to see how a patient portal can help you recruit new patients, retain those already under your care, and reach a new level in office efficiency.
Patient Portals Improve Patient/Provider Communication
Instead of asking patients to fill out lengthy new patient intake forms at an office visit, or requiring staff to mail out expensive new patient packages, let them fill out necessary new patient forms online through a secure healthcare patient portal. Make them available for download or automatic submission on your patient portal. Other features of DDA Medical’s patient portals include: Request an Appointment; Appointment Reminder; Appointment History; Request a Prescription; Therapy/Drug or Product Usage Tracker; and a Notes/Journal Page. Depending on the needs of your facility, features can be added or removed, and offerings expanded to include electronic personal health records, which can facilitate patient/provider communication on lab results, physical and medical history, symptoms, changes in condition, treatments, and so on. DDA Medical will customize your patient portal so that it provides exactly the information and data exchange you deem appropriate.
Patient Portals Increase Practice Efficiency and Productivity
Two very time-consuming office procedures in any practice consist of scheduling appointments and writing prescriptions. With DDA Medical’s patient portal, patients request appointments online with preferred times and staff members can either confirm physician availability or suggest alternate dates and times. Patients can then confirm or reschedule, so there is no need for your staff to make confirmation calls and last-minute cancellations are avoided. Using DDA Medical’s patient portal, patients can request prescription refills by entering their contact and pharmacy information on an online form. The refill request can be received by staff or it can be sent directly to the attending physician to authorize. With a DDA Medical patient portal, patients can be connected not only to their primary healthcare provider and staff members, but to referring physicians and specialists in one centralized web-based system.
