Medical records through MyChart linking

Some great suggestions here. I just completed my first visit and am going for visit this month to GI for a new appointment with them. The first dr pulled up a lot of past visits in MyChart and we were paging through trying to find specific tests etc. It was A LOT. I like the idea of typing a summary of most important items. In fact my case is complex and I am starting a binder including all of my Mayo reports etc to keep it all straight for myself. On this next (new) visit to GI I was told to bring a folder including the most important Dr reports for any practices I saw outside of Epic shared ones and include any CDROMS. I am dropping off in GI the day before my appointment per their instructions.

Those are all great ideas. I would definitely ask questions as you move forward and inquire with your providers the specific types of information that they are looking for to understand both your medical history and problem areas. If you keep categorized records (either hard copy or protected on your system) you can draw and develop your narratives much easier.
I am not sure if the source clarified that all EPIC users share data across the Cloud platform. I thought that wasn't the care and it was a matter of institutions agreeing to do it. As for the CDs, those would require to be uploaded locally. Make sure that when you get your CD from the source that it does have your information on it and it is labelled correctly (to match your name and date of birth identifiers) on Mayo's system.
Best!
