Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

## UPMC Chautauqua Likely Uses Epic EHR, Accessible Via MyUPMC Patient Portal UPMC Chautauqua, through its affiliation with Great Lakes Physician Practice (GLPP), appears to utilize the MyUPMC patient portal, which is linked to the Epic electronic health record (EHR) system. While UPMC employs various patient portals across its network depending on the location and type of care, information suggests that MyUPMC is the primary portal for outpatient services, and UPMC has been in the process of consolidating its EHR systems to a single Epic platform. Great Lakes Physician Practice, associated with UPMC Chautauqua, explicitly states that its patients can use MyUPMC to manage their health information online. This portal provides secure access to medical records, allows communication with the practice, and offers features similar to online banking for managing health information. Furthermore, UPMC has indicated that it uses Epic for its outpatient practices and brands the associated patient portal as MyUPMC, which is essentially Epic's MyChart. The health system has also announced a move to consolidate all patient records from multiple EHRs onto a single Epic system, a transition expected to be completed by mid-2026. This move aims to enhance health data interoperability and will include expanded functionalities for the MyUPMC portal. Although other UPMC facilities may use different patient portals such as UPMC Cole Connect (linked to MEDITECH), MyLinks (UPMC Somerset), MyCareCorner (UPMC Kane), MyCHP (UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh), and the UPMC Central PA Portal, the direct connection between GLPP (and its UPMC Chautauqua affiliation) and MyUPMC, coupled with UPMC's broader use of Epic for outpatient care accessed via MyUPMC, strongly indicates that Epic is the underlying EHR system in use at UPMC Chautauqua for outpatient services. The ongoing system-wide transition to Epic further supports the likelihood of Epic being the comprehensive EHR for UPMC Chautauqua in the near future.
