Patient Web Pages – Help Patients Keep Family and Friends Informed
Posted on 8/15/2007
When you, or a family or friend are going through a significant life event and become a patient at St. Alexius Medical Center, there is now a way to keep those you love informed. Patient Web Pages are a free internet service that allow patients who are undergoing medical treatments, to communicate to family and friends through their own personal website.
It can be used and accessed by the patient, family and friends to stay in touch throughout a hospital stay and after, as long as the patient is using St. Alexius services. Patients, or a website administrator for the patient, can update their web page whenever their condition changes and have the family and friends simultaneously informed. This program allows the patient or family members to avoid making numerous phone calls when conditions improve or worsen.
Patient Web Pages give patients, or family and friends, a quick and easy access to personalized journal entries, photographs and messages in a guestbook. It truly is a virtual place to heal, celebrate and share.
