"we must be our strongest advocate"
That is the reality of it.
Definition: Patient self-advocacy has many different aspects, but at its core, it is about actively participating in decisions about your health. Practicing self-advocacy can help you get the support and medical care you need which can lead to better health outcomes.
Here in the US providers must now post test results and Notes on MyChart, availabe to the patient. I can always print results to take to my PCP but in my case his institution uses same system as Mayo and whatever shows up on MyChart Mayo shows up on MyChart of my local provider.

@vic83, unfortunately, MyChart is expensive to implement. My Nephrologist and Gastroenterologist use MyChart, but all my other doctors use different systems. All patients and doctors would love it if there were one standard system, but the healthcare industry isn't there yet.
