My Health at Vanderbilt 4+

I’ve used the Myhealth App for around 3 years now and I find it to be an effective and efficient way to communicate with your entire health care team. I can review lab reports, x-rays or tests and see for myself exactly what my doctors are seeing or reading. So I’m not just told that my vitamin D is low, I can look at the lab report and see just how low it is. I’m not using it to self diagnose, I’m not in any way qualified to do that. It allows me to take an active role in my healthcare, helping me to be able to educate myself. Access to my information and the ability to contact my providers for answers or questions helps a lot.

This app needs a few tweaks….I like the to-do list but there are some tweaks that need to be done. 1. The question about “paperless “ does not go away. There should be a yes or no on that question. 2. I have been asked about my contact info 2-3 times this year, I have confirmed it but this question remains on my to-do list. This question should only be on the account info and we change it when there is a change. 3. I completed my pre-visit questionnaire prior to my appointment with Dr Abbate, when I got to the office, the nurse asked me all the questions again… Why did I spend my time doing this prior to my visit? Don’t waste your staffs time and don’t waste your clients time. . Also, some of the questions she asked me that weren’t on the pre visit questionnaire should have been (how do I learn best, visual or hearing. Also what type of exercise do I do and how often. These questions should be on the pre visit ).

This app is such a blessing!! You don’t have to call clinics and then wait on hold then be told they will call you back then wait for that! You simply send your questions or what ever and bam it is answered and every one is happy!! I highly suggest if you don’t use it that you start TODAY! You can get refills, make your own appointments! You can do so many things in this app!! You also have you Med list with you at all times. Allergies.
