Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

VNS Health Hospice and Palliative Care uses the **InstaMed Patient Portal** for processing healthcare payments. The electronic health record (EHR) system utilized by VNS Health, including their Hospice and Palliative Care services, is **Netsmart myUnity®**. This platform is designed to unify care settings into a single patient record. While InstaMed serves as a patient portal for payment purposes, and VNS Health offers a separate online account portal for health plan members to manage plan details and message their care team, the search results do not explicitly name a distinct, comprehensive patient portal specifically for hospice and palliative care patients to access their full health records tied directly to the Netsmart myUnity® EHR system. Provider platforms like HCHB Provider Link, Focura Circle, and CarePort (AllScripts/ECIN) are mentioned as tools for clinicians to access patient information and manage care.
