Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

Based on the search results, here's a summary of what EHR University at Buffalo Neurosurgery (ubns.com) is using: * **Patient Portal Name/Branding:** MyUBMD. Several search results from both ubns.com and the UBMD Physicians' Group website (to which UBNS belongs) refer to the "MyUBMD patient portal". * **Patient Portal Vendor:** FollowMyHealth. One search result explicitly states, "MyUBMD is the name of our Patient Portal (powered by Follow My HealthTM)". * **EHR Vendor:** Allscripts. A press release from 2010 announced that UBMD had selected the Allscripts Electronic Health Record (EHR) solution for its physicians. While this is an older article, another search result from 2020 mentions the use of a Cerner EMR system at UBMD Physicians' Group for student training, but the 2010 Allscripts announcement specifically refers to the EHR solution for their physicians across multiple practices, which would include neurosurgery. Athenahealth was also mentioned in several results in the context of patient portals and EHRs, but the direct link of MyUBMD being "powered by FollowMyHealth" and the older press release about UBMD selecting Allscripts makes Allscripts the more likely underlying EHR vendor for the MyUBMD portal. Therefore, University at Buffalo Neurosurgery (UBNS) uses the **MyUBMD** patient portal, which is powered by **FollowMyHealth**. The underlying EHR system used by UBMD Physicians' Group, including UBNS, is likely **Allscripts**, based on information from 2010 and the context of implementing a single patient record across their practices.
