myMDAnderson: Online Information for Referring Physicians
Nearly half of new patients are referred to The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center by a community physician. Now, a secure online portal at https://my.mdanderson.org gives those physicians ready access to information about their patient’s care throughout treatment. myMDAnderson for Physicians also streamlines the referral process and offers a direct line of communication with M. D. Anderson Cancer Center physicians and care providers.
Created in response to community physician feedback, myMDAnderson for Physicians has a number of features, including the following:
- Online “smart” referral process;
- Immediate access to view patients’ appointment schedules;
- Online access to patient reports and transcribed documents;
- Secure messaging with M. D. Anderson staff;
- Ability to maintain correct contact information;
- Links to physician-oriented publications such as the online Guide for Referring Physicians, CancerPro, and OncoLog;
- Access to M. D. Anderson clinical trials information;
- Access to the Office of Physician Relations and the support services it offers community and referring physicians;
- Link to M. D. Anderson’s Research Medical Library; and
- Updates regarding Continuing Medical Education events and programs.
“Our plan is to not only support today’s needs but to meet and exceed the needs and expectations of the community physician in the future,” said Lyle Green, associate vice president of Physician Relations.
