CareLink

Welcome to CareLink

CareLink is a web-based portal that allows community providers to view their patients’ clinical information in a read-only format, including medications, allergies, notes, problems and test/treatment results.

CareLink can also provide real-time notifications to providers based on specific triggers, including visits to a Brown University Health emergency department, admission and discharge to and from a Brown University Health hospital, and new lab results. Additionally, CareLink allows providers to make referrals to departments within Brown University Health.

If you are a health care provider whose patients are treated in a Brown University Health facility, CareLink will help you stay apprised of your patients’ care with the most up-to-date clinical information.

From physicians to nurses, from skilled nursing facility admission coordinators to home care staff and office managers, CareLink provides the necessary information about patients’ care.
