Patient Portal Development

A patient portal is a web or mobile application where patients access their medical records and communicate with healthcare providers. Core features: (1) view medical history (visit summaries, test results, medications), (2) schedule/cancel appointments, (3) send secure messages to provider, (4) request prescription refills, (5) view and pay bills. Technical requirements: HIPAA-compliant security (encryption, audit logs, access controls), integration with EHR systems (Epic, Cerner), multi-factor authentication, and user-friendly design for all ages.
