A new tool is being offered to allow you to access your personal health information online.
'MyHealthPortal' provides patients in Kelowna with 24 hour access to their health information using their smart phone, tablet or computer through a secure portal on the Interior Health website.
You'll be able to view lab results, diagnostic imaging reports such as X-rays and ultrasounds, also certain upcoming appointments, recent hospital visit history, and can update your personal information.
The enrolment team will be at Kelowna General Hospital weekdays from February 6 - 24, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Excluding Mon. Feb. 13 - Family Day stat holiday.)
To sign up, patients must present to the project team in person with legal photo identification and their Care Card or BC Services Card in order to verify their identity.
You'll be given a login username and password to use on your own device-home computer, tablet or smart phone.
Simply go to the MyHealthPortal page on Interior Health's web site at www.interiorhealth.ca/MyHealthPortal to login.
For those unable to attend in person during this enrolment period, remote enrolment will be available after February 6th.
To enrol remotely, patients must show their identification at the Registration desk and ask to have their email address added to their patient record. They can then submit an enrolment request at www.interiorhealth.ca/MyHealthPortal. MyHealthPortal support will contact them by phone to complete the secure enrolment process.
The Central Okanagan is the latest to offer the online tool - to date, more than 6,000 patients have enrolled.
