Employees encouraged to enroll in My Health at Vanderbilt

Leaders with Vanderbilt Health want to increase enrollment in My Health at Vanderbilt (MHAV), the online portal that offers VUMC’s patients such advantages as interacting with their electronic medical records, communicating securely with members of their healthcare team and paying medical bills electronically.

That includes encouraging VUMC employees who have not enrolled in MHAV to do so.

MHAV was upgraded last Nov. 2, with the launch of eStar. 

“There are a lot of strategic advantages to having a robust infrastructure for patient engagement. At Vanderbilt we understand that these patient-engaging technologies improve the quality of care, improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery, provide a substantial competitive advantage, improve bill-pay and allow other technologies to plug in, such as tele-health solutions,” said Trent Rosenbloom, MD, MPH, associate professor of Biomedical Informatics, Medicine and Pediatrics and director of MHAV.

“The main message to our patients about My Health at Vanderbilt is that it’s now much easier to sign up. We’re looking to our providers in particular to help deliver this message, because we know that patients are much more likely to enroll when urged by a clinician,” said Brian Carlson, director of Patient Experience.

The MHAV team invites VUMC employees to download the new MHAV mobile app and to post ratings and user reviews on the App Store and Google Play.
