Primary Electronic Health Record System

Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

The patient portal used by Columbia University Department of Surgery, which is part of Columbia University Irving Medical Center, is called **Connect**. Connect is a unified patient portal for Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NewYork-Presbyterian, and Weill Cornell Medicine. This portal is integrated with the **Epic** electronic health record (EHR) system. Columbia University Irving Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian fully adopted the Epic EHR system and the Connect patient portal on February 1, 2020. Therefore, similar to how Epic uses MyChart, Columbia University Department of Surgery uses the Connect patient portal, which is tied to the Epic EHR system.
