Celebrating 25 years of lung cancer

And allow me to take advantage of you for my own curiosity. I hear about EPIC that Mayo uses and other medical institutions use. I have been told that a doctor in one institution can then see your records in another institution that uses EPIC. But I also read that it is a lot of work for a doctor to be able to pull up your records in another institution. So how well is that really working?
MyChart will compare my reports done in the same clinic. But if I pull in reports from another clinic, it can't compare them. For example, I pulled in blood work reports from another clinic. But when I want to look at a table of values from both Mayo and the other clinics over a period of time, it won't do that.

I would like to help but I don't really know that. I get all of my healthcare done at Mayo so I never have records from another institution involved. Also I retired 13 years ago which was before Mayo started using Epic.
On retirement I went from having full access to everything I needed across many departments and locations to having no access to anything - not even my own data. The patient portal is a big improvement compared to just a few years ago.
