Southampton Hospital Launches New Patient Portal and is Named “2014 Most Wired Hospital” for Third Consecutive Year

Southampton, NY—Southampton Hospital has been recognized for the third year as one of the nation’s “Most Wired” hospitals, according to the results of Health Care’s 16th annual Most Wired Survey, conducted by Hospitals & Health Networks in cooperation with McKesson Corp., AT&T, the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives, and the American Hospital Association.

Southampton President and CEO Robert S. Chaloner comments, “Our goal is to digitize all patient information and create seamless access to vital patient records throughout the entire Hospital organization, including our network of satellite facilities. To that end we have taken a significant step by launching a Patient Portal that allows Hospital patients to access their information through a secure website portal. A Patient Portal is also available to patients of Meeting House Lane Medical Practice through any of its 14 office locations, which interface with Hospital patient records. Healthcare information is a Board-level priority and a critical part of Southampton Hospital’s strategic plan to build a healthcare system for the East End that includes the integration of physician offices, testing and treatment facilities.”
