Smart phone users can now check in for their appointments or tests at Monongahela Valley Hospital, track their visit histories and create patient profiles for themselves or their loved ones by downloading the free CrossChx App.
Once the user downloads the CrossChx App to his or her smartphone and creates a profile, a unique QR code will display on the phone. When registering at MVH, the user simply opens the app to display the code and holds the phone over the kiosk in the registration areas to expedite the registration process. The secure app exceeds the HIPAA compliance standards for security and protection.
In early 2015, MVH implemented CrossChx technology in its registration areas to help register patients faster, prevent medical identity fraud and eliminate duplicate records.
“The CrossChx App is yet another way that we are helping our patients to be in control of their health information by placing it in the palms of their hands,” said Louis J. Panza Jr., president and CEO of MVH.
iPhone users can access the app at the Apple App Store while Android users can download it from Google Play.
