MedlinePlus Connect in a Community Health Center

  • Presenters:

Diane Hauser, MPA, Senior Associate for Research & Special Projects, The Institute for Family Health
Renae Barger, Executive Director, NN/LM MAR

  • Description:  MedlinePlus Connect is a free service of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This service allows health organizations and health IT providers to link patient portals and electronic health record (EHR) systems to MedlinePlus, an authoritative up-to-date health information resource for patients, families, and health care providers.

    The Institute for Family Health, a community health center in New York City, has led the way in implementing and testing strategies for evaluating MedlinePlus Connect. Ms. Hauser presented results from her studies and provided a demonstration of MedlinePlus Connect within the patient portal.
