Kaiser patients can access records on mobile devices
A new application (app) for Android devices allows nine million Kaiser Permanente patients to access their own medical information on mobile devices through a mobile-optimized website. Mobile device users can get full access to their information from the Kaiser Permanente health record system with the mobile-optimized version of kp.org.
Kaiser Permanente patients will have 24/7 access to lab results, diagnostic information, direct and email access to their doctors, and also will be able to order prescription refills, stated the Oakland, Calif.-based health system and payor.
The Android app is available now in the Android Market at no charge. Users of other mobile devices can access the same set of care support tools at no charge through the new mobile-optimized member website, which is available through smartphone internet browsers.
