Several units of Hospital da Luz network are making videoconsultations – a practical means for the clinical follow-up of cases of chronic disease and in post-high and surveillance stages, but also quite convenient for the patient to discuss with his doctor the results of the exams prescribed. Videoconsultations can be made with patients anywhere in the world : all it takes is access to Hospital da Luz Patient Portal and Internet connection on a mobile phone, tablet, laptop or PC. When the doctor in a speciality consultation at Hospital da Luz prescribes some exams (such as for instance, clinical analyses or imaging methods), the results of those exams, are then made available in the Patient Portal – allowing their evaluation and discussion by the doctor in videoconsultation , with no need for the patient to return to the hospital. Therefore, the next time your doctor prescribes exams, ask him if the results can be analysed in videoconsultation . Learn that: These are some of the specialties that can offer videoconsultations and where doctors often prescribe exams for evaluation in a later consultation: Cardiology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Gynaecology, Clinical Haematology, Immunoallergology, General and Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Pulmonology and Urology .
