Announcing Epic Ambulatory for Mount Sinai South Nassau

We are pleased to announce that Mount Sinai South Nassau will be transitioning to a new electronic health record (EHR) in June 2023 for a majority of our ambulatory practices. The hospital records will stay on the current EHR and will transition at a later date. Our new EHR will allow our patients to easily access their health records, schedule appointments, renew medications and obtain information about their care in our physician practices.

During this transition period, we want patients to be aware that wait times may increase slightly as our physicians and staff become accustomed to the new system. In addition, you may be asked to provide information and copies of documents (insurance cards and personal identification cards) that you have provided in the past. While we were able to transfer most of your information, there may be additional items that we need to request. Lastly, if you communicated with our physicians or practice through the patient portal on the prior EHR system, we will no longer be using that portal once we convert to our new system. Rather, we encourage you to enroll in MyMountSinai, our new patient portal. MyMountSinai enables you to take care of many of your health care needs on the go and to communicate easily with your medical team. Please visit MyMountSinai to activate your account.

We look forward to continuing to meet your healthcare needs. We regret any inconvenience this transition may bring and will return to normal operations very quickly. Please feel free to bring any concerns to our attention.

Please add donotreply@mountsinai.org to your safe senders list in order to receive MyMountSinai notifications in your email.

If you are not yet signed up for FollowMyHealth, follow the 1-2-3 directions under “Getting Started.” Set up your MyLinks account at www.MyLinks.com by clicking “Sign Up.” Once you’ve filled out your information, a confirmation will be sent to your email to complete your registration.
2. You’ll need your user name and password for each patient portal you want to collect health data from. If you don’t have this information, speak with your healthcare provider about gaining access to their patient portal.
3. Once you're logged in, click “Gather Health Records.” Search for your healthcare organization, click “Get Health Record.”
4. You’ll then be routed to the login page for your patient portal. Log in with your username and password from Step 2, then click “Import” to transfer the data into your MyLinks account. Repeat steps 2–4 to add health data from other clinics or healthcare providers.

Apple Health

Health Records on iPhone Now Available to Mount Sinai South Nassau’s Patients

Health Records on iPhone offers patients a simple and secure way to access medical data and brings together hospitals, clinics and the existing Apple Health app to make it easy for patients to see their available medical data from multiple providers whenever they choose. The Health Records feature is part of the Health app, which also shows activity, heart rate, nutrition and other health data consolidated from iPhone, Apple Watch and HealthKit-enabled third-party apps.

Previously, patients’ medical records were held in multiple locations, requiring patients to log into each care provider’s website to piece together the information manually. Health Records creates a direct connection between medical institutions and a patient’s iPhone, allowing them to see a central view of their allergies, conditions, immunizations, lab results, medications, procedures and vitals. It also notifies patients when their data is updated.

Health Records on iPhone was designed to protect patients’ privacy through utilizing a direct, encrypted connection between the user’s iPhone and the healthcare organization. Downloaded health records data is stored on-device and encrypted with the user’s iPhone passcode, Touch ID or Face ID. Apple worked with the healthcare community to take a consumer-friendly approach, creating Health Records based on FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), a standard for transferring electronic medical records.

Patients can access Health Records from within the Health app and can download their health records by selecting Mount Sinai South Nassau and authenticating with their patient portal username and password.
