A Cursory View of Patient Portals and Patient Engagement

Ian Worden’s article takes an abstract view of patient portals.  …”I suspect that online patient portals will continue to grow in adoption and should be part of a broader patient engagement strategy for healthcare organizations.”  http://www.betterpatientengagement.com/2012/08/19/a-cursory-view-of-patient-portals-and-patient-engagement/?goback=%2Egde_4387326_member_148940880
Hiveaway is a patient portal engages patients by simply pointing out all of the categories covered under tax advantaged health accounts. (HSAs, HRAs, FSAs)  My personal favorites listed in the IRS Document 502 are acupuncture and even yoga with a doctor’s note/prescription.  I bet you didn’t know that!
