MTBC (NASDAQ: MTBC), a leading provider of proprietary, web-based electronic health records, practice management and mHealth solutions, today announced the launch of PHR 2.0, an enhanced cutting-edge personal health record for patients.
Building on the core functionality of MTBC's personal health record portal platform, PHR 2.0 allows patients to do the following:
- View availability and schedule appointments
- Send and receive secure patient-provider communications
- Check-in on the day of the appointment
- View balances and process payments
- Access patient charts
- Request prescription refills
- Update demographic and insurance details
"While encouraging electronic patient-provider engagement is a key objective under meaningful use stage 2, it has proven to be very challenging for healthcare providers throughout the country," said MTBC President Stephen Snyder. He further explained, "PHR 2.0 helps our providers gain traction in engaging patients by extending personal health record functionality to the web environment and including unique features that enhance the patient experience such as appointment scheduling and prescription refill requests."
