Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

UBMD Physicians' Group, the clinical practice of the University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (medicine.buffalo.edu), utilizes the MyUBMD patient portal. This patient portal is powered by FollowMyHealth™. FollowMyHealth is a patient engagement platform that is part of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions. While there is a reference to Cerner being used in a collaboration with the Jacobs School of Medicine and the Great Lakes Integrated Medical Record (GLIMR) for medical student training, the patient portal branded as MyUBMD and used by UBMD's clinical practices is consistently identified as being powered by FollowMyHealth, an Allscripts product. Furthermore, records from 2010 indicate that UBMD selected Allscripts as their enterprise EHR solution. An employee resource page for UBMD Internal Medicine also lists Allscripts under medical resources and FollowMyHealth Dashboard under administrative resources, reinforcing the use of Allscripts within the clinical practice. Therefore, the patient portal vendor/branding used by the University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences' clinical practice (UBMD) is MyUBMD, powered by FollowMyHealth, which is associated with the EHR vendor Allscripts.
