Mi VIA

St. Joseph Health System Sonoma County (SJHS) is the health partner in an exciting MiVIA (My Way) Electronic Personal Health Record Project to promote continuity of care and health care access. Mi VIA is a free service to clients served by SJHS Community Health that provides a safe location to store important health information.

The information is available to the client, their doctor or clinic. The information is private and confidential. No information is given to anyone without the owner's permission. MiVIA is an electronic and therefore transportable, Personal Health Record (PHR). Each MiVIA member's Personal Health Record is password protected, using 128 encryption and is HIPAA compliant providing audit trails, secure messaging and provider entry portals.

The ability to store and download critical health information such as diagnosis, medications, allergies, chronic conditions, treatment plans and test results will enhance health outcomes and decrease duplication of services. MiVIA allows clients, or any advocate whom they authorize, to download their information at any time or to have the information downloaded by a health care provider.
