Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

Portal Our "my BronxCare" Portal is offering patients the opportunity to have confidential access to their health information. Patients can contact their physician, request appointments, review lab results, and request prescription refills. myBronxCare is described as a user-friendly online service that provides patients with safe, secure, and confidential access to their health information. Patients can use it to contact their physician, request and verify appointments, view medical information such as diagnoses and lab results, and review prescriptions and request refills. Patients can register for myBronxCare at mybronxcare.followmyhealth.com. Based on the registration URL, the patient portal vendor/branding used by BronxCare Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Health Center is **myBronxCare**, and it is powered by **FollowMyHealth**. To determine the EHR vendor associated with FollowMyHealth, a search for "FollowMyHealth EHR vendor" was conducted. The search results indicate that FollowMyHealth is a patient engagement platform developed by Allscripts. While FollowMyHealth is a separate platform, it is designed to integrate with various EHR systems, including those from Allscripts and other vendors. Therefore, while the patient portal is FollowMyHealth, the underlying EHR system used by BronxCare would likely be an Allscripts product or another EHR system that integrates with FollowMyHealth. In summary: * **Patient Portal Vendor/Branding:** myBronxCare (Powered by FollowMyHealth) * **Patient Portal Vendor:** FollowMyHealth (an Allscripts company) * **Associated EHR Vendor:** Likely an Allscripts EHR system or another system that integrates with FollowMyHealth.The first step of identifying the patient portal name used by BronxCare Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Health Center was successful. The search results clearly indicate that the patient portal is called "myBronxCare" and its registration page is hosted at "mybronxcare.followmyhealth.com", directly linking it to FollowMyHealth. The next step in the original plan was to search for "[Patient Portal Name] EHR vendor" to determine the underlying EHR system. Since we've identified the patient portal as "myBronxCare" powered by "FollowMyHealth", the relevant search query now becomes "FollowMyHealth EHR vendor". This search should help identify which EHR systems integrate with or are typically used with FollowMyHealth, and potentially confirm the specific EHR used by BronxCare if that information is publicly available in relation to FollowMyHealth. Therefore, the next step is to execute the search for "FollowMyHealth EHR vendor".
