How is Wingspan Health different from MyChart?
The Differences Between MyChart and Wingspan Health
MyChart is a patient portal.
MyChart is the name of the software (patient portal) that some healthcare organizations use to provide you with online access to your medical records from that organization.
It's a place where you can log in and see the doctors visits and lab tests that were done within a specific entity or brand in healthcare – basically the patient-facing part of an EMR (the software that runs doctors offices and hospitals).
However, if you see doctors at different health systems, you’ll have a patient portal for each system.
MyChart is the patient-facing name for one of the types of software that run hospitals and health systems. But! There are many types of software and each patient portal is different.
You need individual logins not just for each type of software, but for each health system you go to.
Wingspan Health connects different patient portals in one place.
Wingspan Health is a web app that automatically pulls your records in from your patient portals - whether they're MyChart or another type of software like Cerner, eClinicalWorks, athenahealth, and others.
This lets you see your records in one place so you don't need to hop between lots of accounts to see trends or answer questions a new doctor might have for you.
