Stage 2 of the CMS meaningful use program, which focuses on electronic engagement with patients, begins this year for providers who have participated in the program for at least two years. The patient portal is also designed to help physicians who use the Quest Diagnostics Care360 electronic health record (EHR) to qualify for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) EHR incentive program. In addition to lab results, the portal enables users to view other health information, such as provider contact lists and medication reminders, and facilitates online appointment scheduling at one of Quest’s 2,200 patient service centers in the United States. “Our MyQuest by Care360 patient portal represents the next phase of consumer healthcare-where people are empowered with information to play a greater role in their healthcare choices.” Cohen, MD, senior vice president and chief medical officer at Quest Diagnostics.
