In order to streamline the care experience, all our clinics and hospitals are connected by a single electronic health record that allows care providers to share patient information, care plans, prescription information and more, regardless of which location a patient is visiting. This can help reduce the amount of paperwork and duplication of testing. The MyBSWHealth app and portal gives patients access to all of their health accounts in one place. Through the app or portal, patients enjoy: •

Scheduling appointments online and reviewing test results and account information.

Refilling p escriptions and asking their doctor a question.

Initiating an eVisit for diagnosis and care for common illnesses without going to the doctor’s office.

Video visits, allowing face-to-face time with their doctor from any location. www.BrenhamTexas.com
