In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare organizations – including ours – are encouraging patients to avoid coming to clinics and hospitals (when possible and if appropriate). Video appointments are being offered as an alternative. These visits are often accessed through health care organizations’ online patient portals. Online patient portals not only allow you to participate in video appointments but also access appointment summaries and lab results, send messages to your provider, and get health and wellness notifications.
