Traditional Command-Control Option Dying Out … Slowly!

[By Staff Reporters]Hospital Access Management

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital recently introduced a new personal electronic health record [eHR] enabling patients to access medical information wherever and whenever they need it. Called myNYP.org, the system uses Microsoft’s HealthVault and Amalga technologies to offer patients the ability to select and store personal medical information generated during visits to NewYork-Presbyterian.

About NewYork-Presbyterian

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is one of the most comprehensive university hospitals in the world, with leading specialists in every field of medicine. The hospital is composed of two renowned medical centers, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, It is affiliated with two Ivy League medical institutions, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medical College.

Assessment

MyNYP.org uses a “pull model” in which patients proactively opt to copy their medical data into their own personal health record and access that information using a secure username and password with any Web-enabled device. And yes, online bill pay features are available.
