Moving to a unified patient portal is anticipated to bolster patient involvement by providing easier access to health data and provider messaging. Furthermore, the centralised reporting capabilities of the Expanse platform will enable Harbor Regional to measure the impact of proactive interventions for patients at risk for chronic conditions.
