Brunswick, ME — Patients of Mid Coast Hospital and Mid Coast Medical Group can now benefit from a faster and more convenient registration process. When checking-in for appointments, inpatient stays, or outpatient services, patients can use the new Smart Card to avoid extra paperwork, simplify the check-in process, and save time.
“As an organization, we are continuously making enhancements to improve our patients’ experiences,” said Philip Ortolani, Mid Coast Health Services Vice President of Operations. “By implementing this advanced technology, our goal is to make it easier and more convenient to access the high quality healthcare that we provide.”
The Mid Coast Health Smart Card combines all personal identification and insurance information into a single secure record that is stored in the card’s microchip. The information is accessed through card readers located at the Hospital and throughout the Medical Group offices, including the Walk-In Clinic Downtown at Brunswick Station.
By allowing for a one-step check-in process, the new Smart Card system promises to decrease wait times, eliminate the need for multiple updates to personal information, and save time by making the registration and check-in process easier. Additional benefits of the Smart Card include a more seamless record keeping system and quicker access to accurate information in emergency situations.
In addition to the Smart Card, Mid Coast Health Services also recently launched the Patient Portal, a secure web-based system that provides access to health information and provider communication for the Mid Coast Medical Group practices.
Patients will be offered a Smart Card upon checking in for their next visit to Mid Coast Hospital or Mid Coast Medical Group. Smart Cards can also be obtained by going to Mid Coast Hospital Registration, located at 123 Medical Center Drive in Brunswick.
