Yes, the Patient Portal is a free service provided to all of our patients.

Yes, you can view the Patient Portal in any language you choose. To do this, you would use commonly available web translation tools that can be integrated into your browser. These free translation tools are available on Google and Bing.

Inside of your Portal you will find:

• Health record which includes: Continuity of care document, results, reports, medications, allergies, conditions, care team, and discharge instructions.
• Appointments: any upcoming appointments
• Profile: view your demographic information
• Bill Pay: view and pay your bills right from the Portal
• Recent Visits: view any of your recent visits and have access to discharge instructions and lab reports from your visit

If you see an error or missing information, please contact the Medical Records Department at (818) 902-7958 with your patient identification information for assistance.

No, certain results such as pregnancy, drug tests, and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV and hepatitis, will not flow over to the Portal. You will have to reach out to your doctor for that information. Some reports, which include newborn and OB/GYN discharge instructions, will flow to the Portal but may be delayed to allow time for your doctor to discuss them with you first.

Images themselves do not flow over to the Portal, the reports from those scans though will flow over to the Patient Portal and can be found in the “Reports” section of the Health Summary.

Most information will be available for viewing on the Patient Portal within 24-48 hours.

You can securely email your medical record to your doctor from the Portal by going to “Health Record”, then clicking on “Summary of Care”, then clicking “Send Health Summary”. You must first contact your doctor and obtain the doctor’s direct address also known as an “eHealth Address”. If the doctor does not have a direct address, you cannot send the medical record directly from the Portal. If you download your medical record to your computer, then you can do as you wish with it, but be advised, if you email it to a non-direct email address, then VPH cannot guarantee its security. Be aware of what you agreed to in the Terms and Conditions regarding your responsibility to protect private information.
