Kaiser Permanente Hawaii introduced a new virtual feature Tuesday on its KP.org website in which patients can now send digital images to their physicians, including pictures of concerning rashes, wounds or other injuries.
This new feature allows patients to quickly provide information to help their physician better manage their condition and identify potentially serious issues that require a face-to-face visit.
In addition to images, patients also will be able to digitally send PDFs to their doctor, including documents such as work forms that require a physician’s signature.
Kaiser is the state’s largest health maintenance organization.
