Buckle up, #Ontario. Premier #DougFord lied about never needing a credit card to access OHIP. Some family physician clinics in Toronto are now charging a $25/month ($300/year) membership fee to access your patient portal including online appointment booking. ➡️'Healtheon' ( a division of WebMD)

AI-enabled technologies

Enhanced administrative support & online booking

Team-based care involving nurses, physician assistants & nurse practioners https://healtheon.ca/about #onpoli #ontario

@gemelliz

WebMD is the Fox News of healthcare websites. Oh of course we can trust Doug Ford to emulate RFK Jr.

@gemelliz It's worse than that per people responding in this thread. The private funding models pay MORE through OHIP somehow. https://www.reddit.com/r/ontario/comments/1gyg9rg/comment/lyofxi3/

@gemelliz Edited for grammar

Here is a list of problems associated with patient portals :

• There is not always an opt-in for both parties (some don't want to utilize a patient portal or aren't technically savvy in utilizing this option

• The communication needs to be real-time rather than on the portal, especially for sensitive or complicated issues

• Security concerns: re-use of the same password for more than one online account

• Portal literacy: Not every patient portal is the same

• Health disparities: Patient may not have access to computers or technology

• The provider may charge for messages and communication

• Limited interaction and lack of communication

• No emotional support

• No knowledge of the healthcare system

A patient portal is a tool that primarily provides access to medical information and records online. Whether you utilize a patient portal or not, consider adding a patient advocate to your team. Advocates often use patient portals to access crucial medical information and records. However, a patient portal does not provide you with a personal and comprehensive approach to navigating the healthcare system. A patient advocate can spend more time reviewing the information with the patient that the portal doesn't provide.
