Primary Electronic Health Record System
The Hand and Wrist Surgery Center of Lenox Hill (thenewyorkhand.com), which is part of the larger Northwell Health system, utilizes the FollowMyHealth patient portal. This patient portal is a platform that allows patients to access and manage their health information online. Historically, the FollowMyHealth portal has had strong associations with Allscripts, now known as Veradigm. Several sources indicate that FollowMyHealth integrates seamlessly with Allscripts/Veradigm EHR systems. While the thenewyorkhand.com website currently states that their patient portal is "Coming Soon," the broader Northwell Health system has been using FollowMyHealth. It's possible the "Coming Soon" message is either outdated or refers to a specific localized instance of the FollowMyHealth portal being implemented or updated for that particular center. However, it is important to note that Northwell Health announced in March 2023 that they are transitioning to Epic as their new electronic health record (EHR) system. This transition is expected to be rolled out in phases, beginning in 2025. This indicates that while the Hand and Wrist Surgery Center of Lenox Hill has likely been using an Allscripts/Veradigm EHR in conjunction with FollowMyHealth, they are in the process of moving to an Epic EHR system, which typically uses the MyChart patient portal. Therefore, the patient portal and underlying EHR system are subject to change as the transition to Epic progresses across the Northwell Health network.
