Kevin O'Donovan: Hello, this is Kevin O'Donovan, the webmaster for San Juan Regional Medical Center, and I work in the marketing and communications department. In this Compass podcast, I want to talk about something that's becoming increasingly important for our organization and for our patients, the HealthElife app.

Now, you might be thinking, what is HealthElife and why should I care? Well, let me tell you, HealthElife is more than just an app for checking your medical records, it is a powerful tool that puts you in control of your healthcare. Whether you are a patient or an employee, it's a one-stop shop for viewing appointments, viewing lab results, paying your bill, and much more. And the best part? It's right at your fingertips. We've seen a growing trend in digital health management, and the HealthElife app is our way of providing patients with a secure and convenient way to access their health information. I'm excited to share that this app is not only for patients, but also a fantastic resource for our caregivers who want to stay on top of their health information.

Let's dive into the details of how to get started with HealthElife. If you haven't registered yet, don't worry, it's simple and only takes a few minutes. Here's how to do it. Step one, head over to your device's app store. Whether you're using an iPhone or Android device, search for HealthElife and download the app. Step two, open the app and you'll be prompted to select an organization. In the search box, type in San Juan Regional Medical Center. Step three, select sign up. You'll be asked to enter some basic information like your name, date of birth, and contact details. This information helps us ensure that your account is secure and matches your medical records. Step four, next, you'll need to verify your identity by providing your name and date of birth. This is a crucial step to protect your personal health information and ensure that only you have access to it. Now, if you or a patient don't have a smartphone and can use a computer, you can still access this by going to sanjuanregional.com and click on the patient portal on the homepage, and then click set up account. And there you have it, you're all set up.

Now, with just a few taps you can access your medical records, view test results, and view scheduled appointments right from your phone. Remember that you too can use the HealthElife app to stay updated on your own health including your recent lab results taken around this time.

But wait, there's more! Did you know that you can connect HealthElife to Apple Health on your iPhone? This integration allows you to sync your health data, giving you a more complete picture of your well-being. For those who track steps, sleep, or other fitness metrics, this is a fantastic way to bring all your health information together. To set this up, first make sure both HealthElife and Apple Health are installed on your device. On your iPhone, open the Apple Health app. On the bottom right, go to tap the browse icon and then scroll to add account. Search for San Juan Regional Medical Center and add it. It's that simple. By connecting HealthElife to Apple Health, you are empowering yourself with information and making it easier to share valuable health insights with your providers.

Now, here's where you come in as a caregiver here at San Juan Regional Medical Center, I encourage you to help spread the word about HealthElife. Let your patients know how easy it is to use and the benefits it brings. The more our patients are engaged with their health information, the better their outcomes can be. For our caregivers, don't forget that the app is a great resource for you too. It's all about making health management as seamless as possible.

Before we wrap up, I want to take a moment to thank all of you who are actively using and promoting HealthElife. Your efforts make a big difference. And together, we're enhancing the way we deliver care and support to our community.
