New Patient Portal Offers Seamless Communications As Fox Valley Orthopedics Upgrades Computer System

To better connect physicians and patients for a more comprehensive delivery of care across all locations, Fox Valley Orthopedics is upgrading its computer system and going with cloud-based athenahealth. The new system will allow FVO to integrate electronic health records, medical billing, and patient engagement solutions.

• Exchange messages with your doctor or physician assistant
• Requests appointments 24/7
• Review and pay billing statements
• Update medications and request prescription refills
• Provide personal health information
• Update profile and contact information
• Complete medical forms
