Coming Soon: A New Portal for Employee Health and Occupational Management
HOME (Health and Occupational Management at Emory) is a new portal that will be launched on Monday, December 10 for managing employee occupational health and safety at Emory University and Emory Healthcare. HOME supports the electronic clinical documentation of employee health and safety information and will be accessible from Self-Service > Workplace Health. Some key features of the new portal include:

• A self-scheduling tool for making your appointment with EHC’s Employee Health Services (for those university employees who are required to have certain health tests)
• Vaccine consents (for those university employees who are required to receive vaccines)
• After January 1, the new portal will also be used for reporting workplace work-related injury, illness or exposure
• After January 1, a self-scheduling tool will allow you to make your Express Care Clinic appointments

More communications and user guides for the new portal will be coming soon. Questions about HOME can be addressed to HOME@emoryhealthcare.org.
