The Nathan S. Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research (NKI) is a New York State-funded research institute dedicated to understanding the causes of mental illnesses and improving the lives of people with mental illness. As a facility of the New York State Office of Mental Health, NKI conducts basic, clinical, and services research focusing on the etiology, treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation of severe and persistent mental illnesses. Their research encompasses areas such as psychopharmacological treatments for schizophrenia and major mood disorders, mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy, brain imaging, cognition deficits, molecular and cellular basis of diseases, early intervention, and research on the cost, quality, and effectiveness of mental health services.

Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

**Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research Does Not Appear to Utilize a Traditional Patient Portal for EHR Access** Based on available information, the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research (NKI), which is part of the Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene (RFMH), does not appear to use a traditional patient portal for individuals to access their complete electronic health records (EHRs) in the manner that a standard clinical practice or hospital might (such as Epic's MyChart). NKI's primary focus is on psychiatric research. While the institute utilizes electronic health records and conducts medical record reviews as part of its research activities, the available search results do not indicate the existence of a branded patient portal specifically for NKI patients to log in and view their personal health information. Access to data from NKI studies, such as the NKI-Rockland Sample, is discussed in the context of researchers accessing anonymized or de-identified data through platforms like LORIS and COINS for research purposes, with strict protocols for data usage and privacy. NKI also uses systems like "Acquire EDC" for managing research data. Although "Regional Family Medicine," an entity affiliated with RFMH, does offer a patient portal [Previous Search Result 2], there is no evidence to suggest that this portal is used by participants in NKI's research studies or patients receiving services directly from NKI for accessing their specific records from the institute. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the specific EHR vendor used by the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research based on the branding or name of a patient portal, as a dedicated patient portal for NKI was not identified in the search results.
