10 Tips For Successfully Implementing A Patient Portal
One of the most talked about changes with Stage 2 of the CMS EHR Incentive Program, is the requirement that your patients interact with their health information and communicate with you or your practice electronically. (See Appendix A for the patient engagement requirements.)

Along with that, you will need to find a way to share the message with your patients that you want to interact electronically and have the ability to do so.
