Primary Electronic Health Record System
Long Island Jewish Valley Stream (LIJVS) - Department of Emergency Medicine, as part of Northwell Health, currently utilizes the **FollowMyHealth** patient portal. Northwell Health is in the process of transitioning its electronic health record (EHR) system to **Epic**. This transition is being rolled out in phases, with the initial launch expected in 2025. While the current patient portal is FollowMyHealth, Epic's patient portal is widely known as MyChart. The implementation of Epic suggests that Northwell Health's patient portal will likely transition to MyChart in the future to align with the new EHR system.
