Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

Maimonides Aortic Center, as part of Maimonides Medical Center (maimonides.org), utilizes the FollowMyHealthยฎ patient portal. This portal, now known as Veradigm FollowMyHealth, serves as a cloud-based platform designed to provide patients with access to their medical information from Maimonides and other providers through a single point of access. Maimonides has also introduced a new app called MaimoCare, which allows users to access their FollowMyHealthยฎ account for health records, lab results, and more. FollowMyHealth is a patient engagement platform that is designed to integrate with various Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. While Maimonides has stated they were operating multiple EHR systems and have undertaken a "digital front door" initiative to create a unified patient experience, FollowMyHealth has a strong association with Allscripts. Historically, Maimonides Medical Center used the Eclipsys e7000 system, which was later acquired by Allscripts. FollowMyHealth is described as an EHR-agnostic platform offered by Veradigm (formerly part of Allscripts) that can integrate across different EHRs, providing a unified view of the patient's record. Therefore, the patient portal vendor/branding used by Maimonides Aortic Center is FollowMyHealthยฎ, and it is associated with Veradigm/Allscripts, which is likely the primary EHR vendor Maimonides Medical Center utilizes, although they may operate multiple systems.
