Exciting News: We're Upgrading our EHR
At Kaufman Allergy, we are always looking for ways to provide you with the best care possible. To enhance your experience and streamline our operations, we’re thrilled to announce that we are transitioning to a new electronic health record (EHR) system, Modernizing Medicine (ModMed) on January 21, 2025!
What Does This Mean for You?
ModMed offers a suite of powerful tools designed to make managing your health easier and more convenient. Here are some of the features we’re excited about:
Improved Efficiency
ModMed allows us to access your medical records quickly and accurately, ensuring your care is seamless.
Comprehensive
Patient Portal
With ModMed’s patient portal, you’ll have access to your health information, upcoming appointments, test results, and treatment plans, all in one easy-to-navigate platform.
Upon receipt of the email invite, please fill out your health history in the portal as completely as possible!
Streamlined Communication
We’re integrating Klara, a secure communication platform, to make it easier for you to reach us. Whether you have questions, need to refill a prescription, or want to confirm an appointment, Klara allows you to send messages directly to our team for prompt responses. You can do this from the homepage!
Stay Informed
As we get closer to the launch of ModMed, we’ll be sending out messages with detailed instructions on how to access the new patient portal and use Klara for communication. Please keep an eye out for these updates and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
We are confident that this upgrade will enhance your experience at Kaufman Allergy Asthma and Immunology and help us continue providing the exceptional care you deserve. Thank you for your understanding and support as we embark on this exciting new chapter!
What to Expect During the Transition
We’re working hard to make this transition as smooth as possible, but as with any change, there may be a few bumps along the way. We kindly ask for your patience as our team gets up to speed with the new system. Rest assured, we are committed to minimizing any disruptions in your care.
What can you do to help?
Arrive for your appointments at least 20 minutes early. Fill out as much of your health history as possible in the Patient Portal. Send an image of your insurance card and drivers license to the office in advance of your visit.
Rest assured, we’re committed to minimizing any disruptions to your care.
If you have any questions, please reach out as we are here to help!
