 From Soldiers Radio and Television, this is The Army Now. What if you could get in touch with your health provider without leaving the house or waiting on the phone? Aaron First Class Shane Mitchell tells us about a new system that could do just that. The goal is to cut down on wait times for basic information. We think it's more patient-friendly and we'll be able to send us messages when it's convenient for them, but also that we'll be able to respond to them in a more timely fashion. It's currently being tested in several areas of the hospital. The biggest impact seems to be in pediatrics. A lot of times parents call in and they, you know, they have to get the medication refilled so they feel more comfortable emailing it. And it's easy to sign up for. They're going to be given an opportunity at the front desk to register for secure messaging and set up an account. They need to have an email account and the registration is going to be sent to that email account and they can log in from there.
