Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

The University of Arizona Internal Medicine Residency Program, which is affiliated with Banner Health, utilizes the Banner Health patient portal. This portal is referred to as "Patient Account" and was formerly known as the "MyBanner patient portal". Banner Health Network, which is part of Banner Health, primarily uses Cerner and eClinicalWorks as preferred electronic health record (EHR) platforms. Information also indicates that Banner Health is integrating digital health tools with their Cerner EHR system, suggesting Cerner is a significant EHR in use by the organization. The Banner Health patient portal provides access to medical records, allows communication with doctors, scheduling of appointments, and other features typically linked to an EHR.
