Methodology & Findings

The Beth Israel Residency Program in Urban Family Practice, which is part of the Institute for Family Health, utilizes the Epic electronic health record (EHR) system. The patient portal associated with this EHR is called MyChart. The Institute for Family Health adopted Epic as their system-wide EHR and practice management system in 2000. This system allows patients to access their medical records, schedule appointments, and communicate with their healthcare team through the MyChart patient portal.
