Any restrictions to using Patient Pathway?
Yes. The Patient Pathway does NOT allow:

  • Urgent communications or services.
  • Medication refill requests at this time.
  • Access to information for patients age 12-17.
  • Exchange of information regarding highly sensitive medical issues.
  • Making online payments.

As a parent, why can’t I have access to my 12-17 year old child’s portal account?
Iowa’s Minor Consent Laws protect specific healthcare services for minors between the ages of 12-17; this limits what parents are allowed to see without written consent. At this time our portal does not have the technical ability to limit this protected information which is why we have to restrict access. We are working with our vendor to implement a proxy-type access in the future.

Can I request prescription refills?
No, while the Patient Pathway does list the current medications you are taking, you will still need to contact your pharmacy to request refills on your prescriptions.

Can multiple family members use the same email?
Yes, but each family member will have a separate Patient Pathway account with separate username and password to access their own account.
Please Note: If you are using a shared e-mail account and don’t receive an e-mail containing your username and password, please contact the office.

Will only my doctor see my message or information submitted?
Staff members other than your clinician will be involved in receiving your messages, and routing them to your clinician, nurse, or front desk as necessary. If your clinician is out of the office that day when we receive your message, your request may be handled by the clinician on call, or held until he/she returns to the office.

How secure is my medical information?
The information on Patient Pathway is a secure snapshot of your medical record. We have taken all reasonable efforts to maintain the security of your medical information.

Call Grand River Medical Group immediately at 563-589-4080 from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday – Friday excluding Holidays and we will disable your Patient Pathway account. If you would like to continue to use the Patient Pathway, for your security we require that you come to the office in person to reactivate your account. At that time we will issue you a new user name and password.
