I went to my primary care physician today. Since I have used them, maybe starting 2006 or 2007, they have had an electronic medical record. They would print up a report on my report, so I had a copy of my record. I liked that.
More recently, they have been able to electronically send my prescriptions to my preferred pharmacy. I like that!
Today, I set myself up to participate in their patient portal: They will send me an email so I can access information about my visits. I can email them for appointments, refills, and to ask questions.
They gave me options re: hard copy and letters (which is what they did in the past), text, voicemail and email. Email makes so much sense to me. I am delighted with this new service.
I have not had a primary care physician I like this much since in the late 1970s. Only then, they were called family practice doctors. Things sure have changed.
