I think that we have either a complaint, a lawsuit or a resolution against 
Epic, . It says that their patient-facing software is not the problem. But 
if you are trying to be employed in an office or hospital that uses Epic's 
electronic medical records systems, that part of the system was 
inaccessible.
I access MyChart through a web page and not an app; it is rather verbose, 
but I can't complain about its accessibility.

Hey usually we’re complaining here but I wanted to tell you about an app 
which actually works and is made by the electronic medical records software 
company EPIC.

UW Madison hospitals and clinics uses a charting system called MyChart. For 
any blind individual working in the other areas rather than patient oriented 
I do not know if they are as accessible. As a patient however, once I 
figured out how to download and get my password into the app everything is 
100% accessible. I can find out what kind of medical records they have on 
me, connect with doctors through email and be reminded of appointments to 
just to name a few things. It’s been a blessing because I’ve forgotten a lot 
of things well planning a wedding and it has saved me. I can also say I have 
gotten some questions answered rather than needing to go into the doctors 
office to ask them. And this is great because you never rember all your 
questions when you go in there do you?

In the world of battles with technology, epic got it right and I think them.
