Welcome to Tri-Area Community Health
Proxy Patient Portal
Patient Access to Medical Records (PHI) Through the Patient and/or Proxy Portal:
Patient access to our Patient Portal is provided at no charge to the patient. The portal is available 24/7 365 days a year except when it may be unavailable due to maintenance, upgrades, or other matters outside of our control. All patients are encouraged to get more engaged with their own healthcare by accessing the patient portal. No healthcare is provided through the portal, it is merely a method for you to review notes, medication lists, lab reports and other information contained in your electronic health records
Patient Portal
Please understand, anyone with the username and password to your portal will be able to access your medical records contained in the portal. It is your responsibility to keep your username and password safe. Also understand that if you share your username with family, friends, or anyone else they will have full access to your medical records contained in the portal. Our office is not able to separate the records in the portal so that users can only see a portion of those records. All records will be available including sensitive protected health information (PHI) contained in your portal. Therefore, it is your responsibility to protect your access credentials.
Designating a Proxy
Designating a Proxy: Tri-Area Community Health (TACH) patients can give another person the right to see their TACH medical record if the individual is listed on the patient’s HIPAA form. Proxy access gives the person that you name (your “Proxy”) (i.e., parent, legal guardian, or other elected adult) the ability to view your medical record information and talk with your health care providers using the TACH (“Patient Portal”). Patient information that may be viewed by your Proxy includes your problem list, allergies, medications, laboratory and radiology results, and other clinical documents. By using the Patient Portal your patient information can be accessed by your Proxy at any time. You may revoke your Proxy’s access at any time by completing the “Revoke Proxy Access Form”. To name a Proxy and/or allow a proxy access to a patient’s Patient Portal, please request the Patient Portal Proxy Form from the staff at your providers clinic.
