Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

University Hospital at Downstate (downstate.edu) utilizes the **myDownstateCare Patient Portal** for its patients. This patient portal is powered by **FollowMyHealthยฎ**. FollowMyHealth is a patient engagement platform designed to provide patients with secure online access to their health information. While FollowMyHealth is designed to be EHR-agnostic and can integrate with various electronic health record systems, information suggests that SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University, which includes University Hospital at Downstate, uses **Allscripts** as their EHR system. Mentions of "Allscripts SCM (Sunrise Clinical Manager)" being the EHR used by their customer, SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University, and documentation related to using "Allscripts Gateway" with "Sunrise Emergency Care" at SUNY Downstate support this. Furthermore, a listing from 2018 showed SUNY Downstate Medical Center seeking individuals with expertise in Allscripts. Therefore, University Hospital at Downstate uses the myDownstateCare Patient Portal, powered by FollowMyHealth, which is integrated with their likely Allscripts EHR system.
