Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

Based on the available information from the search results, The NARBHA Institute appears to function primarily as a non-profit organization focused on advancing integrated wellness and supporting behavioral health initiatives in Northern Arizona through partnerships, grants, and community assessments. Their historical role as a Regional Behavioral Health Authority and their current collaborations with entities like Health Choice Arizona (part of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona) and Northern Arizona Health Care Foundation suggest a focus on funding, strategy, and support rather than direct patient care provision. The search results did not yield any information indicating that The NARBHA Institute directly operates a patient portal or provides direct clinical services that would necessitate its own Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for patient access. Information about patient portals in the search results referred to other healthcare systems and served as general examples of what patient portals offer. Therefore, it is not possible to identify a patient portal vendor or branding used by The NARBHA Institute, as they do not appear to be a direct healthcare provider offering such services to patients. Any patient portal access for individuals in the Northern Arizona area would likely be provided by the specific healthcare providers or systems that partner with or receive support from The NARBHA Institute.
