Why it matters: Patients shouldn’t hunt through tabs to find what’s next. The Unified Patient Portal Dashboard gives a single, personalized home for “what I need to do today,” spanning results, messages, appointments, bills, and forms, on web or mobile, with clear calls to action and status indicators.

- Personalized tiles: upcoming appointments, lab results, meds due, outstanding forms, bills, and messages.
- Action-first UX: one-tap check-in, pay, reschedule, upload, acknowledge, or message the care team.
- Cross-channel continuity: mobile and portal stay in sync; notifications drive users back to the right task.
