Southlake, TX – Southlake Oncology is taking a new step towards better care of their patients by offering online patient portal facility.
Southlake Oncology, one of the pioneering cancer care centers in Texas, has announced its inclusion of a patient portal as a part of its overall services. This portal, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the facility’s website, is a part of the center’s commitment to patient care. “Most importantly”, says the facility’s founder, “is the fact that the portal helps put patients in control of their healthcare”.
“Cancer can affect people in a variety of ways but one of the ways in which patients are often impacted is by feeling a loss of control over their life,” says Dr. Gregory Echt, founder of Southlake Oncology. “There are small things that we can do to help that feeling and one of them is making sure our patients are totally a part of the process of planning their treatment. The other is giving them the ability to access of their medical information at any time and that’s what the patient portal provides.”
Through the patient portal, users are able to access their records including diagnosis, treatment plan, medications, test results, and more. The portal is able to be accessed at any hour of the day from the comfort of the patient’s home. This allows people to take control of their information and to stay informed about their treatment.
“We offer a host of patient services here at Southlake Oncology and throughout the Choice Cancer Care system that are meant to make the patient experience as comfortable and successful as possible,” says Dr. Echt. “The patient portal may seem like a small thing but it’s a big thing for people who are struggling to maintain a sense of control over their lives. We are proud to be able to offer this service to our patients.”
