Electronic Health Record System

Epic

Primary Electronic Health Record System

Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

Optum Pediatrics, accessible through east.optum.com, appears to utilize MyChart as its patient portal. While direct confirmation specifically for the east.optum.com domain and its pediatric services wasn't explicitly found, multiple search results indicate that MyChart is the prevalent patient portal used across various Optum locations and services, including those in New York and New Jersey. MyChart is widely recognized as the patient portal developed by Epic Systems and is exclusively used by healthcare organizations that have implemented the Epic electronic health record (EHR) system. Several Optum entities, including Optum Medical Care of New Jersey (formerly Riverside Medical Group) and Crystal Run Healthcare (part of Optum in New York), explicitly state they use MyChart as their patient portal and mention transitioning to or using the Epic EHR system. Crystal Run Healthcare, which offers pediatric primary care, announced a move to the Epic platform and the introduction of the MyChart patient portal in March 2025. Based on the strong association of MyChart with Epic and its widespread adoption across Optum's network, including locations in the eastern United States offering pediatric care, it is highly probable that Optum Pediatrics (east.optum.com) uses the MyChart patient portal, which would indicate their underlying EHR system is Epic.
