Primary Electronic Health Record System

Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

## University at Buffalo Utilizes Multiple EHR Systems and Patient Portals University at Buffalo (buffalo.edu) appears to use different electronic health record (EHR) systems and patient portals for its various health services. The primary patient portal used by the UBMD Physicians' Group, which is affiliated with the university, is called **MyUBMD**. This portal is powered by **FollowMyHealthβ„’**. Available information suggests that UBMD Physicians' Group utilizes **Allscripts** as their EHR system. An announcement from 2010 stated that UBMD had selected Allscripts Electronic Health Record solution to manage patient records across their practices. FollowMyHealth is known to be a patient engagement platform that can integrate with various EHR systems, including Allscripts. For University at Buffalo Student Health Services, the patient portal is referred to as the "Patient Portal". While the specific EHR vendor for Student Health Services was not as readily apparent as for UBMD, one source indicates that University at Buffalo Student Health Services uses **Medicat**. Medicat provides EHR solutions specifically designed for college health centers, including a patient portal. It is worth noting that the University at Buffalo recently issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking information about web-based electronic health records systems for student health services, including robust patient portal functionality. This could indicate that the university is evaluating its current EHR system for Student Health Services. In summary, University at Buffalo's affiliated physician group, UBMD, uses the MyUBMD patient portal powered by FollowMyHealth, likely integrated with an Allscripts EHR system. University at Buffalo Student Health Services utilizes a separate Patient Portal, and available information points to Medicat as their EHR vendor, although a recent RFI suggests a potential review of this system.
