Question: Physicians appreciate that patients are entitled to their full name and practice address. However, there may be situations where a physician might wish to share a name variant (e.g. without middle name) that differs from the official information stored in the Connect Care provider registry. How can this be done?
Answer: The MyAHS Connect patient portal shares information about a patient's physician and possibly other members of a ongoing health care team. Physicians can adjust how their name and other information (e.g. biosketch, interests, research) appears to patients.
Do this by seeing the "About Me" submenu item from the "My Settings" menu within the main Epic drop-down menu. This can also be found by entering "About Me" in the general search box at the top right of Hyperspace.
