MyChart 4+

Until someone in my community had shared their journey with Ochsner and their ability to communicate via messages and Zoom with their doctors, I was not familiar with the app for Ochsner nor had I ever been a patient there. I’ve currently been going through fighting cancer and was not receiving care that needed in Mississippi.
I downloaded the app; the world opened up.

All the specialists I needed to see were right there at my fingertips suddenly as well as the ease and simplicity too schedule appointments at my desired location/time/provider. In addition I’ve since been able too experience Ochsner and if could give more than 5*, I definitely would be. I had to have an EUS done there; every single individual I encountered regardless of involved in my care directly or indirectly, they ALL showed such kindness, respect, compassion, that I’d not had this kind of care anywhere else. And I mean everyone I crossed paths with and not just on the date of my procedure but also at a whole different location where I went to see my new Ochsner oncologist at Luling and again 5* too infinity more, because everyone right down to the receptionist and the individual working at their tiny cafe was AMAZING!
Thank you Ochsner for choosing employees that are obviously happy to be there doing what they do, I am quite grateful!! Keep up the great work!

I’ve worked for the U of U and I’ve also been a patient for the U of U healthcare. MyChart is the easiest, most efficient way to communicate with your provider and your healthcare team, to communicate with you. I always encouraged patients to use MyChart instead of relying on telephone calls. You see, if you don’t use MyChart and only communicate via a phone you will have greater wait times when you are expecting a result for a test, an answer to a question, or a prescription refill request. We are not allowed to leave any info on a voicemail so all you’ll get from a missed call is the name of the person calling and a callback number. With MyChart you will get your answer or results with the first correspondence. It’s secure and so easy to use. You get a text notification whenever anything new pops up so it’s hard to miss a result or response from the provider.
If you rely on the phone remember that if the medical staff calls you and you don’t answer you go to the end of a very big line. It can take 2-3 days before you make it back to the front of the line.
MyChart allows you practically instant access to your results. It’s a godsend for both the patients and medical staff. I highly recommend it if you want an efficient way to communicate with your provider.

I love how easy it is to access my family’s critical medical information like lab results, MRI & X-ray findings, upcoming scheduled appointments, previous visits with our doctors, medication lists, request refills for our medications if unable to get to the pharmacy, viewing doctor’s after visits reports & follow-up notes (we can print hard copies for our children’s medical records for their special education files at their schools; “They” can’t claim “They” didn’t know!), and doctor’s letters for excused absence from school/work due to appointments or ER visits. You can also request to schedule appointments through the app, and connect via Telehealth/Zoom doctor appointments, too.
However, my absolute most favorite element of this application, and in my opinion the genius idea behind this application’s creation, contacting your healthcare providers with the utmost of ease, and getting a response from them, their team or office generally the same day or within 24 hours! Then being able to print that response in a hard copy for our children’s health records, again for school, is the absolute best thing I could ever have asked for in a medical application! What more could you want from this application?
