Partners and Atrius Web Portal Integration Completes First Phase
As a means of improving patient care and saving time for clinicians, Partners has developed a web portal to provide members of the Atrius Health patient care team access to clinical information for patients it shares with PHS.
Once Atrius care team members are signed into the Atrius Health electronic medical record, they can link directly to the Partners Physician Gateway for shared patients. Previously, Atrius clinicians could only connect to the LMR via the Partners network, which required multiple passwords and several sign-on steps.
"This represents a significant step forward in our Atrius relationship and will enhance quality, safety and care coordination for our patients," said Jessica Dudley, MD, chief medical officer for the BWPO. "We have received much positive feedback from Atrius clinicians, and we look forward to providing the reverse capability for our BWH and FH clinicians in the next phase of work."
The second phase of the project is now in the planning stages. When complete, it will enable Partners care team members to access the Atrius Health electronic medical record using the same single sign-on capability. More information will be forthcoming.
