MyHealth招生现在超过150,000

More than 151,000 Vancouver Island residents are now signed up for MyHealth, a secure online website where patients and families can conveniently access personal health information for care and services provided by Island Health.

MyHealth launched in October 2019, reached 100,000 enrollments on February 23, 2021, and stands at over 151,000 as of September 3. It’s one of the ways that patients and families can view laboratory results, medical imaging reports and scheduled appointments (if booked in Cerner Scheduling).

“The rapid growth in MyHealth enrollments underlines the value patients and families place on quick, easy online access to their personal health information – especially given the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding increase in lab testing,” said Leah Hollins, Chair of the Island Health Board of Directors.

Patients and families can use the site to receive secure messages from Island Health care providers, as well as important updates about the MyHealth service. Once enrolled, those with MyHealth accounts gain access to new features and functionality as they are implemented – including the upcoming addition of echocardiogram reports to available medical imaging reports.

MyHealth的计划增强包括从2022年1月开始的医生撰写的临床文档,并增加了对安全消息传递和在线表格的访问权限。在MyHealth网站上,9月15日将推出更新的常见问题清单。

“达到了150,000名入学会意味着岛屿健康,患者和家庭之间的伙伴关系更强,”埃里克沙法斯基博士说,副主任医疗信息官员和医师领先地位。beplay全站App“患者的参与是MyHealth的核心,我们感谢与MyHealth相关的许多患者合作伙伴,其见解继续塑造本网站及其功能。我们也感谢岛屿健康的实验室,医学成像,登记和虚拟入学界员工,这些人员有超过150,000人招收。“beplay全站App

故事

At Island Health, the stories we share become part of our fabric. They connect us. Patients to healthcare workers, patients to patients, healthcare workers to each other. We learn from stories and, more importantly, from connecting with each other. The stories on this page reflect how IHealth has played, and will continue to play, a role in person-centred care.

iHealth.Perspectives: Miranda Noyes, Peer Mentor for Electronic Clinical Documentation

Miranda Noyes works as an Occupational Therapist in the Emergency Department at Victoria General Hospital. Coming up on 3 years with Island Health, Miranda's curiosity was peaked when she heard that departments were calling for volunteer Peer Mentors to support the transition to Electronic Clinical Documentation.

作为第一次同行导师,米兰达不确定预期。我们与Miranda谈到了她的经历,以及她是否建议成为别人的同伴导师。

它是什么样的,是你的期望吗?

Miranda: It was learning alongside people, I didn't ever feel like an expert. Colleagues were understanding of that, too, which I think made it less intimidating for all of us – it was more like we were all learning together.

你觉得做好准备和支持吗?

Miranda: Definitely supported. As prepared as I could be, I would say. I felt prepared for each day as we went along.

What really helped was that my physio counterpart and I got pulled from our case loads. I would really recommend this, if at all possible. Thanks to Caryn Mackay who advocated for us to be dedicated to the role of Peer Mentor.

And I have to give a lot of credit to Christa Robertson [physio Peer Mentor counterpart], it was great to have her there working side-by-side together.

Was there anything that surprised you?

米兰达:我惊讶的是,我的觉得我们在前一周内的上一周的觉得,我们觉得准备实际做了真实的事情,而不仅仅是在“游戏领域”,而且与真正的患者。我预计更多紧张。

What were your key takeaways from the experience?

Miranda:对我来说,个人,真的了解其他员工,我以前没有合作。同事我并不总是愿意和......看到其他学习风格和学习。

We were all learning new things at once, I was so impressed by how people took it on and took it upon themselves to learn other ways, or found tricks and wanted to share them with everyone.

在做训练中有真正的价值,然后在房间里尝试它,然后人们向整个房间提供技巧和技巧。

What advice do you have for others who might be considering being a Peer Mentor?

米兰达:试试吧,我认为他们可能比他们想象的更喜欢它。这是一段时间很短的时间。想象它少一点,因为教导别人,更多的是与你的同事一起学习。

Would you volunteer as a Peer Mentor again?

Miranda: Definitely.

For more information, or to express your interest in being a Peer Mentor supporting the change to Electronic Clinical Documentation, please speak with your Manager.
