A Digital Front Door Solution

Successful healthcare organizations (HCOs) understand that patient engagement is fundamental. Patients who are well-informed about their conditions and treatment options make better decisions. By empowering patients to take an active role in their healthcare, HCOs can improve patient outcomes, satisfaction, and loyalty.

In an era of shifting business models, industry consolidation, and constrained resources, patient-centered care is more important than ever. HCOs must ensure patients have secure, convenient, and up-to-date access to their medical data. And they must ensure care communities—patients, clinicians, authorized family members, and other designees—can efficiently communicate, collaborate, and coordinate care activities. That’s why we created InterSystems Personal Community.

Personal Community is a user-friendly digital front door solution that makes it easy for patients and their proxies to access healthcare records, communicate with providers, schedule appointments, pay invoices, and more. It supports self-care and dependent-care models, streamlining information flows across communities while protecting patient privacy. Users can access the Personal Community portal from any location, at any time, using any device for ultimate convenience. HCOs can customize workflows and brand the user interface for ultimate extensibility. The solution is simple to deploy, set up, and manage.

Personal Community displays aggregated data and connects patients and care teams within and across hospitals, provider networks, HIEs, government agencies, and other entities. The patient engagement solution is tightly integrated with InterSystems healthcare solutions and also works seamlessly with a variety of third-party EHR systems and other technology platforms.

Efficient Electronic Communications
Patients and proxies can use Personal Community to communicate directly with providers or to ask general, medical, or billing questions. Messages are automatically routed to the appropriate individual or group based on administratively defined policies.

Patient Instructions and Questionnaires
Providers can manually or automatically instruct users to review educational materials, upload important documents, complete pre-visit or pre-op questionnaires or forms, or perform other tasks in advance of an encounter.

Unified Alerts and Notifications
With Personal Community, HCOs can send users important alerts and notifications from various trusted healthcare applications via REST API. The announcements can be delivered to the user’s Personal Community inbox or sent directly to a patient or proxy via email or text message.

Online Appointment Scheduling and Payments
Personal Community makes it easy to schedule* and manage appointments. Users can also pre-pay for services and settle invoices through an online payment gateway.

Personal Community does not store data on the user’s device unless a file is explicitly downloaded by the user.
