Patient Portal Nears Go Live
Southern Tier HealthLink will now offer a Patient Portal for healthcare consumers that will allow them to:
- Manage their consent and share data with their doctors
- Access their providers and their health information (coming July 2011)
- Monitor who is accessing their information
STHL has partnered with UHS and Microsoft to provide patient information from the Health Information Exchange through myUHS and Microsoft HealthVaultTM. Patients can use the STHL Patient Portal to manage consent and audit which providers have accessed their records. Patients can also view information from their Health Information Exchange records through the Microsoft HealthVaultTM and/or myUHS personal healthcare record products.
The STHL Patient Portal is a FREE, safe and secure way to access your Health Information Exchange records.

Electronic Consent Speeds Data
STHL has initiated electronic healthcare consumer consent within certain areas of UHS and Our Lady of Lourdes. With electronic consent, the consumer receives the same materials (Consent Form, Consent Form Information Sheet, and STHL brochure) in a hard copy format. When the signed consent form is completed at the UHS or Lourdes registration, the patient consent choice is entered electronically by registration staff at their workstation computer screen. The patient consent choice is instantaneously transmitted to the STHL Health information Exchange (HIE). As always, the patient may change his/her consent choice at any time by completing a new consent form.

STHL Hosts April 11 STOC Networking Café on Social Media
|
|
STOC members learned about the vitual world of Second Life
|
STHL hosted the April 11 meeting of Southern Tier Opportunity Coalition's monthly Networking Café. Christina Galanis, STHL Executive Director, discussed the business and communications opportunities related to social media, and specifically the virtual world of Second Life.
In the past few years, STHL has been using Second Life to aide healthcare consumers in understanding both the broad concept of a health information exchange as well as, individually, how a personal health record can benefit a consumer in their own healthcare. Applications have ranged from the creation of virtual worlds within Second Life-based New York Healthscape to fundraising, where STHL raised over $64,000 for breast cancer research in Second Life in one weekend in late 2010.
