Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

Arizona Kidney Disease and Hypertension Center (AKDHC) utilizes a patient portal branded as "DocTalk". This patient portal is connected to AKDHC's electronic health record (EHR) system. According to search results, the DocTalk EHR system and patient portal were originally developed by AKDHC's Management Information Systems (MIS) department. This indicates that DocTalk is not a patient portal provided by a large, external EHR vendor but rather a system that was developed internally or specifically for AKDHC's use. The DocTalk system is described as an EHR platform used by providers to record patient activities and aims to increase efficiency and improve patient care.
