Vanderbilt Health is offering a new way to get an earlier, more convenient time for your next appointment if one becomes available. It’s called Wait List.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center employees who are also patients are encouraged to enroll in My Health at Vanderbilt, the online portal for Vanderbilt Health.

My Health at Vanderbilt (MHAV), the online portal that allows Vanderbilt Health patients to message their providers, check lab results and pay bills, among other functions, has debuted a feature, called Fast Pass, that allows users who have an appointment with a VUMC provider to join a waitlist for an earlier appointment if one becomes available.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center is among an initial 39 health systems supporting a new health records feature on the iPhone.

Automated techniques can assist in understanding and managing growing volumes of messages sent through secure patient portals, Vanderbilt researchers found.

With the liftoff of eStar accomplished, it’s time to set the course for optimizing the new information technology ecosystem for Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), but not without first thanking all those who delivered seamless patient care during the transition, said Jeff Balser, MD, PhD, President and CEO of VUMC and Dean of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
