I have been seeing specialist for 43 of the 45 years that I have been on this Earth. Until Norton’s MyChart was introduced to me I had to make sure that all of my doctors knew about my other doctors, diagnoses, medication‘s, appointments, bloodwork, test, results, and so on. Since my chart and also making sure that all of my doctors and specialists are all in the Nortons network system, my life has vastly improved. I no longer have to wait extended periods of time for blood test results to come back and to wait for my dr appointment to get the, because I can see them on the app. I don’t have to try to keep track of my many doctors appointments because I can transfer them from the app straight to my calendar on my phone. I don’t have to worry about a provider prescribing me a medication that I should not be taking with a medication possibly prescribed by a different provider. I don’t have to give my entire health history which is very long and extensive every time I see new practitioners. All of that makes my life easier, and feels like a blessing to me. I feel more secure about the care that I’m getting, and I love that all of the people I have to see are on the same page concerning my health. If you’re asking for a five star review, I would give MyChart at 10.
Sincerely,
Olivia

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!

Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear MyChart is working well for you.

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. If there is anything else we can look into, please contact us at MyChartSupport@epic.com.
