Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

While the Arizona State Hospital (ASH), which is part of the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), utilizes the Avatar Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system, publicly available information does not clearly identify a specific patient portal vendor or branding used by ASH for patients to access their health records. Searches for a patient portal associated with Arizona State Hospital on the azdhs.gov website primarily direct users to an admissions portal, which is for submitting applications rather than patient access to medical records. Information regarding patient access to health records typically refers to requesting medical records through a formal process rather than an online portal. The myAvatar EHR system, developed by Netsmart, does include a patient portal feature as part of its software offering. However, the implementation and branding of such a portal are determined by the individual healthcare organization. There is no indication in the search results that Arizona State Hospital has implemented or is actively using this specific patient portal feature under a particular name accessible to their patients. In contrast, other healthcare systems in Arizona, such as those associated with Dignity Health or utilize Epicware, clearly brand their patient portals (e.g., My Care or My Portal for Dignity Health, and MyChart for Epic). Therefore, while Arizona State Hospital uses the Avatar EHR system, the specific name or branding of a patient portal for accessing patient health records could not be determined from the available information.
