Technology
Backus patient portal engages patients, involves providers
Backus recently launched a new patient portal. By completing a simple, safe and secure registration process, over 4000 patients are already accessing their health information at their own convenience, when their schedules permit. Gone are the days of being locked into a nine-to-five schedule. Other hospitals across the nation and the region, including Windham Hospital, will be adopting this technology in the future.
