Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

Ascension Medical Group Via Christi utilizes a patient portal system, although the specific branding and underlying electronic health record (EHR) vendor appear to involve multiple possibilities based on the available information, potentially varying by location or type of service (hospital vs. clinic). While "Via Christi Patient Portal" and "Ascension Patient Portal" are general terms used, there are indications of specific vendor systems in use within the broader Ascension network that likely extend to Ascension Medical Group Via Christi. Notably, "Ascension Epic MyChart" is mentioned in relation to doctor's office visits for Ascension Medical Group in Illinois, suggesting the use of Epic as an EHR and MyChart as its patient portal in at least some Ascension Medical Group locations. Given that Via Christi is part of Ascension Medical Group, it is probable that Epic and MyChart are also used for their medical group practices. Historically, in 2014, Via Christi Health was implementing an EHR system called "OneChart" from Cerner for both hospital and clinic use. However, a more recent article from August 2024 indicates that a hospital formerly part of Ascension Via Christi was transitioning to Epic for its EHR, having previously used Meditech for inpatient and Athenahealth for outpatient services. This suggests that Athenahealth has also been used for outpatient care within Ascension Via Christi. Furthermore, an "Ascension One patient portal" is mentioned for accessing hospital records. Based on the current information, it appears that while "Via Christi Patient Portal" or "Ascension Patient Portal" are the patient-facing names, the underlying EHR system for Ascension Medical Group Via Christi's doctor's offices is likely Epic, with MyChart as the corresponding patient portal, aligning with the system used in other parts of Ascension Medical Group. However, it's possible that other systems like Athenahealth may still be in use in some outpatient settings, and a separate portal or system might be used for hospital records.
