EPIC MyChart Integration!
Keeping technology simple for both patients and providers is crucial for ensuring accessible and engaging care, and driving positive outcomes. That’s why we’re excited to announce that organizations using Epic as an EMR can now direct patients to access their home programs right from their MyChart page, without needing to create another username or password. This simplified experience will help improve engagement and adherence, while supporting system-wide MyChart utilization.
