THE DIGITAL FRONT DOOR

Patients do not want another portal. They want fewer obstacles.

A patient portal succeeds when people can complete routine healthcare tasks without calling the clinic, repeating information, waiting for basic updates, or switching between disconnected applications.

01

Reduce avoidable calls

Let patients manage appointments, forms, refill requests, results, payments, and routine questions through self-service workflows.

02

Connect the care ecosystem

Bring together the EHR, scheduling, telehealth, payments, RPM, messaging, and patient education in one experience.

03

Improve portal adoption

Design around real patient tasks, mobile use, accessibility, caregiver needs, and clear next steps instead of a generic dashboard.

SOLUTIONS WE BUILD

Custom patient portals for different healthcare delivery models

The right portal architecture depends on who delivers care, which system owns each workflow, and how patients access services.

Hospital and health system portals

Unified access to appointments, records, forms, messaging, billing, and care across facilities.

Clinic and physician group portals

Scheduling, digital intake, results, prescriptions, communication, and practice-specific workflows.

Telehealth patient portals

Booking, identity verification, consent, pre-visit forms, video consultation, payment, and follow-up.

Remote patient monitoring portals

Device onboarding, vitals, adherence, care-team messaging, alerts, tasks, and longitudinal data.

Behavioral health portals

Private scheduling, assessments, teletherapy, secure communication, care plans, and sensitive-data controls.

Home health and chronic care portals

Visit schedules, caregiver access, medication support, care-plan tasks, updates, and field-team coordination.

CAPABILITIES BY WORKFLOW

Organize the portal around what patients and staff need to do

We group capabilities into complete workflows rather than building a disconnected checklist of features.

Access and onboarding

Registration, identity verification, profile, insurance, consent, caregiver access, and digital intake.

Appointments and care access

Search, book, reschedule, cancel, waitlist, reminders, referrals, pre-visit preparation, and virtual visits.

Communication and support

Secure messaging, care-team inboxes, notifications, FAQs, escalation rules, and multilingual communication.

Clinical information

Visit summaries, lab results, medications, allergies, immunizations, care plans, and documents.

Billing and payments

Statements, estimates, insurance details, copays, payment plans, receipts, and gateway integration.

Ongoing engagement

Tasks, reminders, education, questionnaires, goals, RPM data, follow-up, and caregiver collaboration.

CORE MODULES

Start with the workflows that remove the most friction

Launch a focused first release, then expand as adoption and operational readiness improve.

EHR AND ECOSYSTEM INTEGRATION

A patient portal is only useful when it connects to the systems behind care

Peerbits designs the integration layer around the actual workflow: what must be read, what can be written back, which system is the source of truth, how identity is matched, and what happens when synchronization fails.

Epic

FHIR, SMART on FHIR, patient context, records, scheduling, and implementation-specific workflows.

Oracle Health

Supported FHIR and API workflows mapped to the customer environment and portal use case.

athenahealth

Patient, appointment, provider, clinical, document, and practice workflows using supported APIs.

eClinicalWorks

Integration based on supported resources, authorization, mapping, and implementation requirements.

FHIR R4/R5

Resource mapping, validation, profiles, terminology, search, bundles, pagination, and errors.

HL7 and C-CDA

ADT, results, documents, orders, interface workflows, and integration-engine support.

Payments and billing

Statements, copays, estimates, gateways, receipts, plans, and RCM-related workflows.

Telehealth and RPM

Video platforms, wearables, device data, questionnaires, alerts, and care-plan workflows.

SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE

Protect patient access without making the portal painful to use

Security affects identity, permissions, sessions, APIs, logs, third-party services, hosting, support workflows, and the way sensitive information appears throughout the product.

Identity and MFA

Secure registration, verification, recovery, session management, and optional enterprise SSO.

Role-based access

Patient, proxy, caregiver, clinician, support, and administrator permissions.

Encryption and secrets

Protection in transit and at rest with managed key, token, and secret practices.

Auditability

Logins, record access, exports, changes, messages, admin actions, and integration events.

Consent and proxy access

Consent capture, delegated access, revocation, and policy-aware data sharing.

Secure APIs

OAuth, token lifecycle, validation, rate controls, monitoring, and least-privilege scopes.

Availability and recovery

Monitoring, backups, recovery planning, incident handling, and resilient deployment.

Accessibility

Keyboard support, screen-reader semantics, readable layouts, contrast, and accessible forms.

RESPONSIBLE AI

Use AI where it removes real patient friction

AI can improve navigation, education, communication, and support workflows without presenting itself as a substitute for clinical judgment.

Appointment assistant

Help patients find, book, reschedule, and prepare using approved scheduling rules.

Patient education assistant

Surface approved content based on condition, procedure, care stage, or discharge workflow.

Multilingual support

Translate routine instructions, reminders, navigation, and non-clinical support content.

Document search

Help patients locate forms, visit instructions, benefit information, and portal guidance.

Care reminders

Automate follow-up tasks, questionnaires, adherence prompts, and care-plan reminders.

Support routing

Direct requests to scheduling, billing, clinical, technical, or urgent-support workflows.

MODERNIZATION

Modernize an existing patient portal without disrupting live care workflows

Many organizations already have a portal but struggle with low adoption, outdated UX, legacy frameworks, limited mobile support, security gaps, and brittle integrations.

Portal assessment

Review architecture, source code, integrations, UX, security, performance, deployment, and support issues.

Progressive modernization

Replace high-risk or high-friction modules in phases while preserving critical integrations and user continuity.

Controlled rebuild

Create a new experience and architecture when incremental changes cannot solve the underlying constraints.

WHY PEERBITS

A patient portal team that understands the systems behind the interface

Delivery depends on healthcare product engineering, interoperability, security, clinical workflow, legacy systems, and operational rollout—not just frontend development.

Healthcare product engineering

Patient applications, provider workflows, RPM, telehealth, care management, analytics, and healthcare SaaS.

EHR and FHIR expertise

Portal workflows mapped to supported vendor capabilities instead of treating every EHR as the same API.

Modernization experience

Progressive improvement or controlled rebuild of existing portals and integration layers.

Workflow-first UX

Design around what patients and staff need to complete, not a generic dashboard template.

Dedicated product teams

Focused teams for discovery, development, integration, modernization, and long-term product delivery.

Architecture beyond launch

Identity, configuration, support tools, monitoring, integration failures, and multi-customer rollout planned early.

Frequently asked questions

It is the design and development of a patient-facing web or mobile platform around your care model, workflows, EHR environment, security requirements, branding, and roadmap rather than adapting the organization to a fixed portal product.

Yes. The integration approach depends on the workflow and customer environment. We evaluate supported FHIR, SMART on FHIR, HL7, vendor API, and integration-engine capabilities before defining the architecture.

Yes. We can assess the codebase, architecture, integrations, UX, security, performance, and deployment process, then recommend targeted fixes, staged refactoring, module replacement, or a controlled rebuild.

We translate the compliance scope into architecture and delivery controls such as identity, access control, encryption, audit logging, session handling, secure APIs, monitoring, recovery, infrastructure controls, and vendor governance.

Yes. We can create responsive web portals, native or cross-platform mobile apps, and shared services for identity, records, communication, payments, and integrations.

The timeline depends on workflows, integrations, write-back requirements, identity and proxy access, data migration, mobile scope, compliance controls, and rollout complexity. We normally recommend phased delivery.
