Systems and methods for providing virtual health services

A method for providing virtual healthcare services comprising:

• maintaining medical records for a patient associated with a first healthcare provider by a computing device;
• providing access to the medical records to the first healthcare provider by the computing device;
• facilitating communication between the first healthcare provider and a second healthcare provider through a chat application by the computing device;
• detecting that the first healthcare provider has attached the medical records into the chat application by the computing device;
• and
• in response to detecting that the first healthcare provider has attached the medical records into the chat application:
• automatically generating and sending an electronic message to the patient requesting permission to allow the second healthcare provider access to the medical records by the computing device, wherein the request includes a user interface element that the patient may use to approve or deny the request;
• receiving permission from the patient through the user interface element to allow the second healthcare provider access to the medical records by the computing device;
• and
• in response to receiving the permission, generating and providing a link to the medical records in the chat application for the second healthcare provider by the computing device.

A system for providing virtual healthcare services comprising:

• at least one computing device;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that when executed by the at least one computing device cause the at least one computing device to:
• provide a graphical user interface;
• receive, through the graphical user interface, a schedule associated with a first healthcare provider by the computing device, wherein the schedule includes the availability of the first healthcare provider over a first duration of time;
• receive, through the graphical user interface, a request for a virtual healthcare service with the first healthcare provider from a patient, wherein the request includes a second duration of time, and wherein the second duration of time is within the first duration of time;
• based on the schedule, determine a plurality of time periods during the second duration of time when the first healthcare provider is available to conduct the virtual healthcare service;
• present, through the graphical user interface, some or all of the determined plurality of time periods to the patient;
• maintain medical records for the patient;
• provide access to the medical records to the first healthcare provider;
• facilitate communication between the first healthcare provider and a second healthcare provider through a chat application;
• detect that the first healthcare provider has attached the medical records into the chat application;
• and
• in response to detecting that the first healthcare provider has attached the medical records into the chat application:
• automatically generate and send an electronic message to the patient requesting permission to allow the second healthcare provider access to the medical records, wherein the request includes a user interface element that the patient may use to approve or deny the request;
• receive permission from the patient through the user interface element to allow the second healthcare provider access to the medical records by the computing device;
• and
• in response to receiving the permission, generate and provide a link to the medical records in the chat application for the second healthcare provider.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium with computer-executable instructions stored thereon that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to:

• maintain medical records for a patient associated with a first healthcare provider;
• provide access to the medical records to the first healthcare provider;
• facilitate communication between the first healthcare provider and a second healthcare provider through a chat application;
• detect that the first healthcare provider has attached the medical records into the chat application;
• and
• in response to detecting that the first healthcare provider has attached the medical records into the chat application:
• automatically generate and send an electronic message to the patient requesting permission to allow the second healthcare provider access to the medical records, wherein the request includes a user interface element that the patient may use to approve or deny the request;
• receive permission from the patient through the user interface element to allow the second healthcare provider access to the medical records;
• and
• in response to receiving the permission, generate and provide a link to the medical records in the chat application for the second healthcare provider.
