What is Barnabas Health Patient Portal?
Barnabas Health Patient Portal is a secure patient portal that allows
read-only access to your medical information. Through Barnabas Health Patient Portal
you can access educational materials, and view your current medications,
allergies, immunizations, health issues, and past select lab results.
How can I enroll for Barnabas Health Patient Portal?
You can enroll for Barnabas Health Patient Portal while you are a patient
in our facility or in our emergency department. You will need to provide
a valid email address to our staff and/or physician.
If enrolling after you have left the hospital you will need to contact
the Health Information Management Department (HIM) at the facility you
visited. After discharge you will need to appear in person, show valid
ID such as driver’s license and provide a valid email address.
To complete the registration, an email invitation with a secure, unique
link will be sent to you. When you click the link, confirm your name,
date of birth and Zip code. Next, choose a username and password. You
will then be asked to choose a security question and answer in case you
ever forget your password.
Can I enroll to view my children’s medical information?
Yes, parents or guardians of children up to age 13 can access their children’s
medical information on Barnabas Health Patient Portal. You will need to
provide a valid email address during your child’s visit to the hospital
or visit the HIM department with valid identification after your visit
to the hospital. Parental access is terminated just before the child’s
13th birthday. Parent of Minors age 13 through 17 cannot be given access
to Barnabas Health Patient Portal because of New Jersey privacy laws that
prevent sharing certain medical information with parents.
Can I give permission for someone else to view my medical information,
such as a spouse or my adult child?
Yes, any patient age 18 or older can give “proxy” access to
another adult. Both the patient and the proxy will need to be present.

Can I share my password with a family member so I don’t have to sign
up for proxy access?

in the future to stop sharing your information with another person

Where does my health information come from?
All of your information is pulled directly from your electronic health
record. You will see information from your visits to Barnabas Health hospital
locations. It does not contain information from any visits to independent
physicians’ offices outside of our organization, even if they are
physicians who work with Barnabas Health. Also, information from Behavioral
Health visits is not displayed, due to strict privacy laws regarding that
information.
How do I view my health information?
- Click the “Clinical Record” section. Here, you can choose to
view different categories of information.
- The "Clinical Record Summary" contains information about your
medications, allergies, immunizations, health issues, and past procedures.
- The "Documents" section contains summaries of clinic and hospital
visits, as well as any educational materials that were provided to you
as part of your visit. You must have a PDF reader to view or download
a document.
- The "Labs" section will have select test results.
- The "Copy of Record "section allows you to view or download a
"Continuity of Care Document" (CCD).
Will I be able to see my radiology or pathology results?
Due to the sensitive nature of these types of results you will be unable
to view radiology or pathology results on the patient portal. A copy of
these results can be obtained through your hospitals Health Information
Department (HIM)
What is a “Continuity of Care Document”?
A Continuity of Care Document (CCD) provides a snapshot in time of specific
medical information that can be viewed by you, downloaded and saved for
future use or transmitted to your physician for follow up care.
The transmission of personal health information is performed using Direct-trusted
messaging. Direct messaging is an easy and secure clinical messaging system
within the patient portal that allows patients to send clinical information
to their primary physician office for follow up care. Direct-trusted email
address would need to be obtained from the office in which you are sending.
Please contact your physician office for additional information.
What if my medical information is incorrect?
If you have any questions about the medical information you see in Barnabas
Health Patient Portal, please contact the Health Information Department
at the facility that provided your care.
What is Cerner Health? This is not the Patient Portal
What is Cerner Health?
Cerner is the company that provides our Inpatient electronic medical record
system and our patient portal, Barnabas Health Patient Portal. The login
ID that you create when registering for Barnabas Health Patient Portal
is sometimes referred to as a Cerner Health account.
What is a Personal Health Record (PHR)?
A Personal Health Record (PHR) gives you the ability to document, store,
and manage your personal health-related information and records from any
number of healthcare organizations. It is not the same as Barnabas Health
Patient Portal, which is a patient portal that displays information from
Barnabas Health facilities electronic health record.
Please remember this is not the patient portal.
How can I access the PHR?
By using the "Account Settings" page, you can link to Cerner
Health and access a PHR. This is
entirely optional. Any information that you choose to store here is controlled only by you.
Your Barnabas Health providers will not see this information unless you
print it out and share it with them. Your health information from Barnabas
Health Patient Portal will not be automatically entered into the PHR.
Do I need to use Cerner Health PHR as part of the Barnabas Health Patient Portal?
No, Barnabas Health Patient Portal is completely separate from the Cerner
Health PHR. The PHR is available only if you choose to use it. There is
no need to use the PHR in order to receive the benefits of Barnabas Health
Patient Portal. Any information that you enter in the PHR will not be
shared with Barnabas Health providers unless you print it out and share
it with them.
