On Monday, September 28, Door County Medical Center (DCMC) will begin reporting COVID-19 Test results through its online Patient Portal. Both positive and negative results will be communicated via the portal, but a positive test will also include a phone call to that patient from DCMC staff.
Patients will be asked to provide an email upon calling the COVID-19 hotline requesting a test. The email provided will be used to start the patient portal enrollment process and must be used by the patient to complete the self-enrollment. Each patient will receive a brochure at the time of the test as well to help walk them through the self-enrollment portion. The patient will receive an email and an alert on their smartphone device (should they have the patient portal app downloaded) when their results are available. Results will generally be available within 72 hours of the test, but could take up to a week depending on testing demand.
This process will alleviate the time and effort it takes staff to call all patient results, whether they are positive or negative, and help DCMC accommodate increased testing demand in our community.
