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.

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.
