Patient Portal Software Development Services

A patient portal is a secure website giving patients secure, convenient, online access to personal health information via any device with an internet connection, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Once issued with a secure username and password, patients are able to securely view health information such as recent doctor visits, medication details, immunisation records, lab results and other useful information.

Patient portal software development is a wide field. Here at Rbbr Duck Ventures, we have the capability to build any features you require in your healthcare patient portal development.

As a leading supplier of patient healthcare portal development services, we understand that healthcare software developers have unique responsibilities around security and regulatory compliance. We have extensive experience of working within GDPR, HIPAA, FDA/CE, ISO 13485 and other regulations and guidelines in the UK and internationally. Everything we build is always fully compliant with all applicable regulations.

The cost of patient health portal development will be affected by the complexity and size of the software package in development. Healthcare patient portal development is rarely a truly simple process, and costs can mount up quickly, but we always ensure that every project that we undertake is appropriately budgeted for, before we begin.

As with costs, timescales will vary according to the complexity of the patient portal development being undertaken. Again, we are always transparent regarding timelines and keep our clients fully informed.

First, we listen carefully to the client to ascertain what is required from the customer healthcare patient portal development. We then develop the software required to operate the system and keep it fully compliant with applicable regulations and enable users with no technical or medical expertise to use the finished portal with ease.

At Rbbr Duck Ventures, we work hard to be available at the time our clients need us, and will usually be able to start work on your patient portal development within a reasonably short timeframe.

What should be included in patient portal services depends on what kind of practice, and what kind of patients the portal is intended to serve. As a company that specialises in customer healthcare patient portal development services, we are flexible on which elements are or are not important to include, but would always recommend that accessibility and ease of use are king.

As a healthcare portal development services company, we maintain that you can deliver almost any patient services via a patient portal. Traditionally they have been used to streamline patient scheduling and to facilitate access to medical results and prescriptions. However, as information and communication technology has improved patient portals can now be used to allow video consultations too.

Patient portal development services companies like ours would be expected to say this, but we would argue that patient portals are incredibly effective. They have already begun to revolutionise the way healthcare is delivered to patients in the UK and internationally, improving patient experience, medical efficiency and outcomes.

Any information can be included in the scope of a patient portal, but it is not always desirable to do so, and access to certain information may be obstructed by legal restrictions in the UK and other countries. Because of this, we do not give a general answer to this question as it is something that should be discussed on a case by case basis when you hire patient portal developers.

Arguably yes, but we would rather say that electronic medical records (EMR) are something to be accessed via the patient portal.

Patient health records are the information held on a patient by a medical practice. The patient portal is the way a patient is able to access those records. In essence, the patient portal is a window through which a patient can view their health records.

No. Electronic Health Records (EHR) make up the information which authorised individuals such as patients and their clinicians can access.

When you hire patient portal developers, you should expect that the people delivering your development have the appropriate expertise and skillsets. We are careful to recruit only the brightest and the best, carefully building a team with all the skills, knowledge and expertise needed to work in this highly specialised area.

Patient portal software development is one of our key areas of specialism. As such we would turn the question around – what custom healthcare solutions do you need from us? From lab patient portal development services to pharmacy patient portal development services to patient scheduling software development services, we can do it all.

Yes, we are available for project based development work. Whether you have a relatively simple portal project in mind, or have a need for a more complex patient portal project, we are always happy to help with clients' challenges.
