02 Jul 2023 I have been using the MyChart app from Epic for over 10 years and it has been great at providing the information I need in the spectrum of health services that I am provided with. There are a few things that the app / providers need to perfect MyChart however for it to be up in the five star range. 1. You need to enable the saving of all records regardless of type by the patient user as a PDF file. Having to take scrolling screen shots and save them so they can be opened into an image to PDF converter is a real pain. Safari already allows PDF saving of browser windows, MyChart needs to do the same. 2. Lab results, Practitioner Summaries and Notes, Radiology reports, surgery procedure notes and summaries need the ability for the patient to email them to primary and other secondary providers without having to go through the hoops in Item 1 and then emailing them.20 Jul 2023: Received reply from Epic. I have used the Web site instead for Item 1; but, it will be more convenient from the app. Will update when that happens. The emailing is an isdue however that currently is only addressed by downloading a PDF the uploading on other providers portals rather than directly from MyChart. I find myself constantly having to do this because providers do not update secondary providers and visa versa. I feel like a mouse on an exercise wheel having go do the work that providers should be doing.
We are always looking to improve the experience for our users, and really appreciate the feedback. Printing is available from the website version of MyChart and will be added to the mobile app in a future release, along with the ability to save documents from the app as PDFs.
