The Provider Portal allows you and LifeConnect's patent pending self-management portal provides a means for patients to take control of their health conditions. The patients who use this service have the ability to take their vital signs whenever they want, have them automatically charted, review customized educational information from health news feed organizations and relax in knowing that their health condition is being tracked using their providers' protocols.
Users receive reminders, educational materials and goals customized to there condition.
These reminders, action steps and goals appear dynamically and change on the fly based on the patient's input of information, history and provider driven protocols. The protocol tree is built with fine granularity to accommodate time-tested protocols and algorithms. The health engine combines the protocols with the patients' entered information about their activity levels, stress and coping mechanisms, symptom management, medications and nutritional habits, along with their vital sign entries. The better the protocols, the more effective the self-management portal. When combined with the LifeConnect provider portal patients are capable of receiving reminders, educational material and question sessions from their healthcare provider team over the Internet .
