The provincial government says another milestone has been reached in health care by expanding digital services with the launch of the MyHealthNL app.
The app provides Newfoundlanders and Labradorians with what NL Health Services calls easy, digital access to their personal health information from their mobile phone, tablet and computer.
Current services on the app allow users to view lab results, general radiology reports, dispensed medications from community pharmacies, allergy information and other e-health resources such as a health library.
The app will be expanded in the coming months to include more services such as integration to virtual care, access to an online health system checker, and the ability to view certain appointments.
Once registered, a person receives a code by mail within 10 business days, a process which ensures the privacy of personal information in a manner similar to that used by the Canada Revenue Agency.
