Electronic Health Record System

FollowMyHealth

Primary Electronic Health Record System

Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

Based on its affiliation as a Physician Partner of Northwell Health, The Friedman Center (friedmancenter.org) likely utilizes Northwell Health's patient portal. Northwell Health currently uses **FollowMyHealth** as its primary patient portal, allowing patients to access and manage their health records online, view test results, message physicians, and manage appointments. Northwell Health is in the process of transitioning to **Epic** as their new integrated electronic health record (EHR) system, with the rollout beginning in 2025. This implementation will consolidate multiple existing systems into a single patient record across the Northwell Health network, which would include The Friedman Center. While FollowMyHealth is the current patient portal, the move to Epic suggests that a different patient portal, commonly MyChart with Epic implementations, will likely be adopted by The Friedman Center in the future as part of the Northwell Health system-wide transition. It is worth noting that some Northwell Health Physician Partners have also been noted to use **ezAccess** as their patient portal. However, FollowMyHealth appears to be the more widely used platform across the Northwell Health system currently.
