About the Practice

The Gertrude H. Sergievsky Center at Columbia University integrates clinical, epidemiological, and genetic research focused on diseases of the brain and nervous system throughout the life cycle. [1, 2] Established in 1977, the center's mission is to find the causes of disabling neurological disorders by investigating human populations at risk. [1, 2] Their research spans a wide range of conditions including epilepsy, developmental disorders, Alzheimer's disease and the aging nervous system, Parkinson's disease, and cerebrovascular disorders, and they also coordinate clinical trials.

Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

The Gertrude H. Sergievsky Center, as part of Columbia University Neurology and Columbia University Irving Medical Center, utilizes a patient portal branded as "Connect". This portal is a joint effort with NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, providing a single access point for patients across these institutions. Evidence suggests that "Connect" is tied to the Epic electronic health record (EHR) system. This is indicated by references to "MyChart" in the context of accessing Connect. For instance, existing MyChart users are directed to log in to Connect, and patients without a MyChart account who have previously visited are instructed to call for a MyChart activation link. Additionally, one source explicitly states that patients at the Eleanor & Lou Gehrig ALS center (part of Columbia University) now have access to the "Connect" patient portal and mentions registering at "MyConnect", further linking "Connect" to the MyChart platform. MyChart is widely recognized as the patient portal system used by Epic.
