About the Practice

The Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health (JHCIH), founded in 1991, is dedicated to promoting Indigenous health equity through evidence-based public health programs, education, innovative research, policy advocacy, and the dissemination of proven programs tailored to community needs. [8] The Center works in partnership with communities to advance Indigenous well-being and health leadership, braiding Indigenous cultural strengths with Western and Indigenous sciences. [8] Their work encompasses areas such as behavioral health, mental health, infectious disease prevention, higher education, and leadership development, supporting and implementing public health interventions designed for and by Indigenous peoples across the U.S. and globally.

Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

The Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health (cih.jhu.edu), as part of Johns Hopkins Medicine, likely utilizes the MyChart patient portal. Johns Hopkins Medicine explicitly states that it uses MyChart as a secure online portal for patient care. MyChart is a patient portal product developed by Epic Systems Corporation. While searches specifically for the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health's patient portal did not yield a separate, distinct system, the broader Johns Hopkins healthcare system uses MyChart. This portal allows patients to manage appointments, view test results, request prescription renewals, and communicate with their healthcare team. Another portal, "MyHealth Portal," is used by Johns Hopkins University Student Well-Being, but the search results clarify that this is distinct from MyChart, the patient portal for Johns Hopkins Medicine/Epic. Given that the Center for Indigenous Health is an integral part of the Johns Hopkins institution, it is the most reasonable conclusion, based on the available information, that patients interacting with the Center for Indigenous Health for their healthcare needs would access their information through the main Johns Hopkins Medicine MyChart portal, which is powered by Epic.
