MyChart 12+

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 get multiple notices to go look at things sometimes I don’t know what things that actually wants me to look at. It asks for drug reactions medications whose names I don’t recognize at all but may be another version of something I have taken. The menu names are a bit vague and disorganized from my point of view,. I just paid $45 and it says I owe $45 Very hard to tell what visit whether I just paid for it already. Information can be inaccurate but I am very limited in my ability to fix it and it often changes it’s usually never fully correct which concerns me. It seems a different doctors add to the mix and are unaware of certain medication‘s. Today for instance it said I was taking both the fast acting and the slow acting version of a medication, when I’m only taking one of them. Hard and confusing and now inconsistent to print out some reports from Phone It seems like the format keeps getting redesigned so I often spend time looking for things that I used to be able to find. A lot of the links that explain the medication’s or procedures lead nowhere. It’s definitely helpful to have all information in one place, but inconsistencies at all levels and dimensions could be dangerous. Every time I look, I find something not quite right sometimes unlikely to be a problem other times it could be. I do like getting test results. Incredibly quickly as waiting for them can sometimes be quite unsettling.

This is the beginning of how a patient can integrate all of their medical information in one place to enable their eyes and the medical practitioners are looking at the same scheduled appointment and test results and prescriptions and written communication. The app works perfectly but user experience will vary based on how well you can fully implement its features. There is a learning curve on both ends of this thing but if you patiently (sic) (not sick) work out the details with your doctor’s office, and their referrals then you can see that all of the pieces connect. The better the staff and you acquaint yourselves with the features the more you will get out of this. Ultimately when you’ve got you’re information managed well here, you will have better access to medical care. It will save you time filling out forms, or waiting in phone jail to confirm information you can find here. You have much more control of your communication here than on a phone call, and this helps them to help you without you sitting on hold just to verify your prescription went to the correct pharmacy. 5 stars is aspirational for all who dive in and help their doctors office really use all of the features. I’ve seen great progress in 2 years time and find it to be completely reliable.
