Horn Memorial Hospital Patient Portal Disclosure
Horn Memorial Hospital (HMH) is offering access to the InteliChart patient portal as a courtesy to our
patients. This web-based patient portal is a secure tool that provides patients the ability to access portions
of their medical record. This form is intended to inform you of the facts and risks surrounding the use of a
web portal.
The HMH InteliChart patient portal is not a replacement for in-person healthcare. It is not appropriate to
use this portal for emergency diagnosis or treatment.
HMH Health Information Management (HIM) Policy and Procedures regarding the patient portal:
1. Patients may have electronic access to certain portions of their health information, such as medical
history, medications, and lab results, through a secure website. Certain results of a sensitive nature may
not be viewable in the portal.
2. You may enroll in the portal either via the website under the “Create an Account” tab or in person at
HMH’s HIM Department. In person identification verification at the HIM Department will be
required prior to access being granted to the portal.

3. Parents and legal guardians may be granted access to records of minor children up to the age of 13.
Due to Iowa Law (Chapter 141), minors over the age of 13 will need to set up their own access to the
patient portal. Sharing of the minor’s patient portal information is left to the discretion of the minor.
4. Adult patients may designate another adult to have access to their portal account as a proxy.
a. Patients must complete and sign a Patient Portal Access Consent Form to authorize proxy access, or
to revoke proxy access.
b. The HIM Department will be responsible for handling all requests to revoke proxy access.
Responsibilities of Patient Portal Users:
Every authorized portal user has the responsibility to protect the confidentiality of health records. All
authorized portal users are expected to keep their portal password secure to prevent any unauthorized
access to patient information. HMH is not liable for breaches of confidentiality arising from unauthorized
use of such information. If you suspect that someone has learned your password, you should access the
portal site immediately and change it. If you become aware of a breach, for whatever reason, you are
expected to promptly report it to the HIM Department at HMH at (712) 364-3311.
Should you gain access to another person’s health records, for whatever reason, you agree to not read such
information and agree to report the problem immediately to the HIM Department at HMH at (712) 3643311.
