Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

Pima Heart Physicians PC (pimaheartandvascular.com) utilizes the InstaMed Patient Portal, particularly for online bill payment services. While InstaMed is a payment processing platform, it integrates with numerous Electronic Health Record (EHR) and practice management systems to provide a more seamless patient experience, including portal functionalities. Information from a case study regarding Pima Heart and Vascular's use of the Luma Health patient engagement platform indicates that Luma Health integrates with the "Nextgen EHR" at Pima Heart. Given that InstaMed is known to integrate with NextGen, this suggests that Pima Heart Physicians PC uses NextGen as their underlying EHR system. Therefore, Pima Heart Physicians PC appears to use a patient portal experience that includes the InstaMed Patient Portal for payments, and their EHR system is likely NextGen. The broader patient portal functionalities beyond payments would be facilitated through the integration between NextGen and potentially other platforms like Luma Health, which is designed to work with EHRs such as NextGen.
