MyNYP is an interactive personal health record that allows patients to control and access their medical information wherever and whenever they need it. MyNYP.org consolidates and organizes information such as medication history, surgery reports, hospital discharge instructions, laboratory and radiology records, immunization history, allergy information, doctor and insurance information, and emergency contacts. By giving patients a simple, convenient way to manage their health, myNYP helps them become more informed, active, and empowered.

Patients can visit myNYP to create a secure log-in and password. Then, they can request personal medical information from NewYork-Presbyterian as well as add information from other sources, such as doctors, pharmacies, and labs. All information is organized and stored through myNYP, and can be accessed easily whenever the patient chooses. Some of the health information from NewYork-Presbyterian is annotated with customized explanations to help patients understand their medical tests and procedures and give them additional information about normal and abnormal results.

We understand how important privacy is to our patients. MyNYP uses Get Real Health's InstantPHR CHBase Technology, a security-enhanced Web platform designed with the following Health Privacy features:

* The record you create is controlled by you.

* You decide what information goes into your account.

* You decide who can see and use your information on a case-by-case basis.

Patients can load whatever health information they choose onto myNYP, from any provider they have visited. In addition, patients can elect to have their records from NewYork- Presbyterian added to the site. With myNYP, patients can manage their children's health records and comply with school and childcare provider health record requirements. They can also keep track of medication history, surgery reports, hospital discharge instructions, laboratory and radiology records, immunization history, and allergy information, as well as access general health information to help manage their everyday well-being. As an added benefit, this portal is also optimized to view on your mobile devices.

Joining myNYP is free. We firmly believe that this is a tool that all patients should be able to access.

New York-Presbyterian patients will only see medical information for hospital services rendered at NYP/The Allen Hospital, NYP/Columbia University Medical Center, NYP/Komansky Center for Children's Health, NYP/Lower Manhattan Hospital, NYP/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, NYP/Weill Cornell Medical Center, NYP/Westchester Divison. This does not include the medical information from other New York-Presbyterian Regional Hospitals - NYP/Hudson Valley Hospital, NYP/Lawrence Hospital, and NYP/Queens.

MyNYP is completely portable, which means patients can access their health information whenever and wherever they need it. Because it lives online, myNYP connects patients with doctors, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers anywhere they go. This easy access and portability is critical in helping patients maintain their health on an ongoing, day-to-day basis. MyNYP is also has a Mobile app available in the Apple and Google stores.

No. While patients are encouraged to include as much information as possible on myNYP, the information they load and share is completely at their discretion. MyNYP.org should enhance — not take the place of — a robust patient-physician dialogue.

MyNYP is an interactive, patient-centric system that allows patients to consolidate, control and access their health information whenever and wherever they wish. This is different than an electronic medical record, or EMR, which is an internal tool that hospitals use to connect health care providers and information across the network. Generally, an EMR is not something a patient can access or interact with.

Every individual has a unique medical history. And when facing a medical challenge — whether it's as serious as open-heart surgery or as routine as a check-up — patients and doctors are best-equipped to make the right decisions if all of the patient's information is readily accessible and the patient feels empowered and informed. MyNYP was created to streamline the flow of health information, reduce medical errors and inefficiencies, and help patients become proactive about taking care of their health and the health of their families.
