MyChart is a safe, secure app that pulls in your AHN medical records from Epic — our electronic medical records system — and allows you to communicate with our doctors, schedule appointments, and set up virtual visits.
Unlike third party apps, MyChart follows the rules and regulations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) and other applicable privacy laws. Third-party apps do not have to follow these same privacy and security standards set by federal and state law.
