Patient Passport is a secure online portal that helps you stay connected with your doctor’s office between visits. It keeps your visit summaries, lab results, and follow-up steps together in one place so you always know what’s next in your care. You can also quickly look up important clinical information—like allergies and medications—to use as a reference or share with other clinicians involved in your care.
With Patient Passport, you can:
See notes and key takeaways from each visit online, without waiting for a phone call or letter.
Securely message the office about your results or any non-urgent questions—even outside normal office hours.
View your allergies, current medications, and other important health information that helps clinicians coordinate your care, then print or fax it directly from your phone or computer when another clinician needs it.

Patient Passport uses role-based security with the most advanced information safeguards available. Encryption, password protection, the ability to track every viewer and other safeguards protect against unauthorized use of the exchange. Your information will not be shared with any third party.
