Primary Electronic Health Record System
The Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services (jewishboard.org) appears to use "MyAvatar" as the branding or name for their client-facing portal, which is connected to their electronic health record (EHR) system provided by Netsmart. According to information on The Jewish Board's website, "MyAvatar" is presented as a way for clients to connect with their therapists, psychiatrists, and other providers for telehealth services and receive appointment reminders. These reminders are sent from a Netsmart email address, indicating the underlying technology. Further supporting the use of Netsmart, a success story highlights The Jewish Board's implementation of Netsmart's myAvatar EHR for their Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities programs to improve documentation access and efficiency. Job postings also mention the requirement for staff to document work in MyAvatar, the agency's EHR system. The organization's SMS Privacy Policy also refers to a "patient portal" where clients can manage communication preferences, and mentions the Electronic Health Record in the context of updating these preferences through a clinician. While the term "patient portal" is used generally, "MyAvatar" is the specific name associated with the platform for client-provider connectivity and appointment management as presented by The Jewish Board. This aligns with Netsmart's range of software solutions for health and human services.
