Primary Electronic Health Record System

Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

Banner University Medical Center Tucson, part of the Banner Health system, utilizes a patient portal branded as "Patient Account," which was formerly known as the "MyBanner patient portal". This portal allows patients to access their medical records, schedule appointments, message doctors, and more. Banner Health, including its hospitals and facilities like Banner University Medical Center Tucson, primarily uses Cerner as their electronic health record (EHR) system. Specifically, Cerner Millennium is mentioned in relation to Banner's hospital operations. While eClinicalWorks is also noted as a preferred EHR for some Banner Health Network providers, there is a stated interface between Cerner and eClinicalWorks, and Cerner is indicated as the system used by Banner's hospitals and facilities where a significant portion of care, including that at an academic medical center like Banner University Medical Center Tucson, would occur. Therefore, similar to how MyChart is the patient portal commonly associated with the Epic EHR system, Banner Health's "Patient Account" or "MyBanner" patient portal is the interface that connects patients to their health information stored within the Cerner EHR system used by Banner Health.
