Tripartite Business Agreement Overview
EpicCare Link is a web application that allows community-based providers and collaborators to view clinical data, receive Event Monitoring notifications (ex: ED Admission, ED Discharge, Abnormal Lab Results, etc.) on patient, place outpatient Referral Orders, and view patient charts. EpicCare Link is utilized by referring patients to a New York Presbyterian Hospital facility, such as referrals to the ED, Radiology or Lab outpatient orders, etc. New York-Presbyterian, Weill Cornell Medicine and Columbia Doctors grant access to community based providers and business entities by means of having a Consortium Site agreement or Tripartite Business Associate Agreement signed.
