Healthcare providers can use Epic’s MyChart Virtual Care to help patients improve self-management of chronic diseases. MyChart Virtual Care also allows patients newly diagnosed with chronic conditions to educate themselves about their diagnosis through Mayo Clinic’s expert content.
The app also sends care notifications and analyzes data that patients or their connected devices provide to adapt care plans to each patient.
“Patients, health care providers, care managers and other caregivers can have confidence that the care plan, health information and patient education content from Mayo Clinic, and available through MyChart Virtual Care, is there to help them more actively engage in, and better manage, one’s health, improve outcomes, and potentially bend the cost curve in the process,” said Steve Ommen, MD, Mayo Clinic cardiologist and medical director of Mayo Clinic Center for Connected Care.
