If you were a BPM DocsOnline user, you understood the convenience of an online patient portal: the ability to e-mail your physician with non-urgent medical questions, the ability to request or cancel an appointment, the ability to request prescription refills and to receive test results and referrals via e-mail.

Bristol Park Medical Group has embarked on our "next step" to providing you with better online service and security with a new web-based patient portal called NextMD. A companion program to our recently implemented electronic medical records program NextGen, NextMD provides you with the following additional benefits:

• Multiple browser support options; NextMD can support Firefox, Safari and Chrome along with Internet Explorer
• Better security; NextMD utilizes a multi-step authentification log-in process to protect your personal health information
• "Smart Phone"capability; NextMD can be accessed via your iPhone, Blackberry or any other smart phones.
• Integration with NextGen for better patient medical record management
• Receipt of test results, referrals, or a summary of your health information via secure e-mail - Because NextMD is tied directly to your medical record, electronically received test results can be forwarded to you at your request

Signing up with NextMD is simple! It only takes a few minutes!

Call your physician's office and ask any of our staff for your own unique NextMD token number. This randomly generated unique token number will be your initial key to signing up as a user in NextMD. Simply follow the instructions on www.NextMD.com.
