HealthAlliance Launches Online Patient Portal

Kingston, N.Y. – November 4, 2014 – HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley is pleased to announce the launch of their Patient Portal, a website providing patients with secure online access to a summary of their personal hospital health record.

The HealthAlliance Patient Portal is a password-protected website where our patients can view their personal health information such as medical history, lab and radiology results, medications, allergies and more.

This free service is available to all patients who visit any of HealthAlliance's three hospitals. Patients can sign up for the HealthAlliance Patient Portal during the registration process by providing the hospital with a valid email address, or by visiting the HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley^® website and clicking on "The Patient Portal" for further information.

HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley^® believes that all patients should have quick and easy access to their health information at any time. "The Patient Portal is a great opportunity for HealthAlliance to increase a patient's ease of access to their own medical records," said Dave Scarpino, President and CEO of HealthAlliance. "We strive to make healthcare easy to navigate and more comprehensible. This service is a step in that direction."

The HealthAlliance Patient Portal was established to improve the patient experience, one of three objectives that HealthAlliance strives to achieve – reduced costs, superior patient care and a better patient experience. Additionally, this service is an effort to improve transparency, enhance communication between physicians and patients as well as to help patients understand their health status and the details of the care they receive.
