Explanation / Answer

Using software and web portals have increased transperency between the patient and healthcare providers such as hospitals or physicians.With advancement of such features in longer run we can decrease costs and lot of man effort.

These patient portals which are online applications are very useful because they can be accessed anytime anyday throughout the world using internet.EMR system (electronic medical record system) can be maintained for the user and this can be updated periodically resulting in reduced costs for the user and also getting updated information about the patient.

Intuit Health and Microsoft HealthVault describe themselves as personal health records (PHRs), but they can interface with EMRs and communicate through the Continuity of Care Record standard, displaying patient data on the Internet so it can be viewed through a patient portal.

Patient portals have  increased efficiency and productivity and are useful to both patients and doctors alike. Patients can refill their prescriptions online and interact with the doctor via emails and can also discuss and leave comments.Doctors can obtain all the bills paid by the patient online and medical appointments and timings, optimize staff and provider productivity can be easily managed by the doctor using the patient portal applications provided by the healthcare systems.

These healthcare services help supporting and enhancing existing healthcare software applications, including development of new features and functionalities and help in maintaining the applications upto date.patients love Telemedicine business seeking a platform to securely deliver and bill for online patient care.

Care is also taken to protect confidential patient information by allowing the owners to set specific security permissions on individual folders or files so that only authorized individuals have the access to the patient information.Providing the framework for delivering access to information at the point of care by integrating the portal with mobile devices such as Tablet PCs, Smartphones, and PDAs and Allowing health professionals to initiate and manage e-mail, messaging, phone calls, Web conferencing, and audio or video conferences with a click of the mouse or from within the communication-enabled portal solution.

These applications also help the doctor to track maintenance work orders.Identify incomplete jobs, send out reminders to maintenance personnel, and close work orders when jobs are done.Track spare parts and materials stored in stock rooms. Maintain an audit trail for every part used for maintenance work. Use the system to inventory received parts and know when its time to reorder.

The major disadvantage is that the non-centralised management. i.e if the user change their linkage from the single healthcare organisation then they need to log into each organization's portal to access information .So this disturbs the information of patients data would be incomplate.

If this trend goes on well then the future would see the computerized healthcare platform called E-visits. These E-visits can help the patients to meet the doctor online uding video calls and speech tools and get the prescription and advise. An Internet session would be much cheaper and more convenient than traveling a long distance, especially for simple questions or minor medical complaint. For simple allergies and queries this is better option. People residing in rural areas can take an advantage of this feature.

In the present advent of mobile appliacations and smartphone using technology not only helps the patients to get treated by the doctor, as the saying goes " prevention is better than cure" every individual can constantly montor his health status. Devices which use handband sensors with bluetooth connectivity to smartphone has already been used by the health consious people.
