Primary Electronic Health Record System
The patient portal used by Cardiothoracic Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical Center is called **Weill Cornell Connect**. Weill Cornell Connect is the patient portal that provides individuals with secure online access to their medical records and healthcare management tools. This portal is a shared system used across Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian, and Columbia University Irving Medical Center. The patient portal, Weill Cornell Connect, is tied to the **Epic** Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Weill Cornell Medicine, in collaboration with NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia University Irving Medical Center, implemented the Epic EHR system which went live on February 1, 2020. This integrated system allows for the access and exchange of patient medical records across these institutions. Thus, similar to how Epic is associated with MyChart at other healthcare facilities, Weill Cornell Connect is the specific branding for the Epic-based patient portal utilized by Weill Cornell Medical Center, including its Cardiothoracic Surgery department.
