COVID-19 Update

New Electronic Medical Records System and Patient Portal

Our clinic has transitioned to a new electronic medical records system through Epic. You will have a new patient portal called UAMS MyChart. It will keep all of your provider’s notes and test and lab results from all UAMS sites.

You will still have access to your MyPortal account, but no more information will be added to this account once our clinic begins using UAMS MyChart. You will be able to see all your most recent health information in your UAMS MyChart account.
