||| FROM TOM EVERSOLE for ORCAS ISLAND HEALTH CARE DISTRICT |||
Orcas Island Health Care District’s partner, Island Health (IH), operates the medical clinic on Deye Lane. IH and its local primary care clinic significantly improved their patient portal over the summer. Now patients can see their lab results, check in with their doctor, make appointments and pay bills online. Thanks to Patty Codd and her IH team, the portal is more user friendly than ever before. Much of the pre-appointment paperwork can be done online.
IH has created four You Tube videos to help patients better access the portal:
- Introduction to myIslandHealth Portal: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KirSoMsvMm0
- Patient Portal Registration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEZxFngMWuo
- Features (What can you do with the Patient Portal?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8bDUOE0b4M
- Schedule an Appointment on the Portal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gGGg9geSk4
Clinic patients can sign up to use the portal at www.islandhealth.org/portal
