Midland Health Partners With PocketHealth
Have you ever had any medical imaging exams performed and wanted a copy of your images and reports for yourself or any of your medical providers? In the past to get these images you had to fill out required paperwork requesting these images and then wait on a CD to be created.
Now all of that is changing as Midland Health has partnered with PocketHealth to bring you an innovative way to access your medical imaging studies and reports with the launch of our new and separate medical imaging portal. By teaming up with PocketHealth, this allows Midland Health to provide you with fast and easy access to your medical imaging records with explanations of your reports, the ability of medical image sharing to your preferred medical providers, and safety protocols that are HIPAA compliant.
You will be able to access your medical imaging studies by creating an account at www.pockethealth.com/midlandhealth. You will need your Midland Health medical record number and then answer a few personal identification questions to create the PocketHealth account. The account usually takes 24 to 72 hours to be created. Once the account is created you will be able to log into your medical imaging account and view your imaging studies and read the associated medical imaging reports.
Your PocketHealth account has an exciting tool called Report Reader, which helps define and explain complex terms that may be used in your imaging report. The goal of Report Reader is to assist you with better understanding of your medical imaging report and could also help you in formulating follow-up questions on subsequent medical visits with your medical provider. This includes reports from X-rays, Ultrasounds, MRI, CT and other imaging modalities.
Pockethealth makes image sharing easy. Once your account is set up you can share your medical images. (It is strongly suggested that you only share your medical images/reports with your preferred medical provider(s)).
If you choose to share your medical images/reports, you will need to log into the pockethealth.com/midlandhealth portal and send an access code to your provider. When your selected provider logs into the pockethealth.com/midlandhealth portal they will enter that access code and are then able to see the imaging studies and reports that you decide to share with them. This new medical imaging portal puts the control of your medical images and reports in your hands.
At Midland Health the safety of your health data is our utmost concern, as is, the ease of accessibility to your medical imaging reports.
We performed almost two years of research for a company that would meet our expectations and meet or exceed all the requirements that are established in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
We believe PocketHealth is the company that did just that. PocketHealth requires a two-step authentication for enhanced information protection. The secure access is linked to your Midland Health medical record number. With access to your imaging portal, you can even store your images and reports on your own electronic device(s).
We are excited to share this new portal for accessing your medical imaging studies with you.
Again, to create an account please go to www.pockethealth.com/MidlandHealth, you will need your Midland Health medical record number and answer a few security questions and then you will have access to your images, reports, and sharing capabilities and HIPAA security you have come to trust.
