Why is uploading my entire record helpful and how do I do it?
Uploading a full health record allows you to conveniently consolidate and access your health information within Huddle and share all your records with whomever you choose. It allows for the seamless transfer of your health records between different systems and healthcare providers.
Why should I import my Health Record into Huddle?
If you want any of your records from different providers and different patient portals in one convenient place, Huddle is the perfect solution. By importing the full file we can take all the data and automatically categorize it into your existing Health Summary. For example, if you health record has a vaccination record it will now show in the Vaccinations sections of your Health Summary after the import is complete.
If there isn’t a direct integration with your patient portal to import records this is a great way to get all of your data into Huddle in an easy, convenient way.
What is the significance of the "blue button" and how can I download my records from my patient portal?
The export feature in your patient portal is often referred to as the "Blue Button" due to its recognizable appearance. While the exact steps may vary depending on your specific patient portal, our research suggests that the process generally follows similar steps. We have outlined the most commonly used patient portal instructions below.
Please keep in mind that your patient portal or healthcare provider can likely provide direct assistance in this matter. Another option is to contact your provider and request that they send your electronic records in the form of a CCDA.
