How is myNYP.org different from electronic medical records that many hospitals already use?
MyNYP.org 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.
