Primary Electronic Health Record System
## Ross Eye Institute Utilizes "MY PATIENT PORTAL" Though Specific EHR Vendor Not Publicly Disclosed Ross Eye Institute, accessible via rosseye.com, provides patients with online access to their health information and services through a platform it refers to as "MY PATIENT PORTAL". While the institute prominently brands its patient portal with this name across its website, publicly available information does not explicitly name the underlying Electronic Health Record (EHR) system vendor that powers this portal. The branding "MY PATIENT PORTAL" is not unique to Ross Eye Institute and is utilized by various healthcare providers who may employ different EHR systems. For instance, some healthcare organizations use this or similar generic names for portals powered by vendors like FollowMyHealth or athenahealth. However, a direct link between the "MY PATIENT PORTAL" used by Ross Eye Institute and a specific EHR vendor could not be found in the examined search results. Ross Eye Institute is affiliated with UBMD Physicians' Group and the University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. This affiliation suggests the possibility that Ross Eye Institute might utilize an EHR system shared by or integrated with the university's or the larger UBMD group's hแป thแปng. However, this connection and the specific EHR vendor used by these affiliated entities were not detailed in the search results. Another entity, "Hauser-Ross Eye Institute / Dekalb Surgery Center," was mentioned in one search result as using an "InstaMedยฎ Patient Portal," primarily for bill payment. However, this appears to be a separate organization and its patient portal is focused on financial transactions rather than comprehensive health records like the "MY PATIENT PORTAL" referenced by Ross Eye Institute (rosseye.com). Therefore, while patients of Ross Eye Institute can access a "MY PATIENT PORTAL," the specific EHR vendor behind this portal, and thus the system managing patient electronic health records, is not clearly identified in the available public information.
