I use MyChart. It's a great way for your doctor and clinic to communicate with you.

It's not a place where I'm going to store contact information for all my doctors, or appointments for doctors that aren't at that clinic, or all my prescriptions and all the pharmacies.

When your daughter is reacting badly to her new chemotherapy, and running fevers and throwing up, and somebody needs to call her palliative care specialist and it needs to be you, not her, then where will you find the specialist's phone number?

I hope you'll never be there, but if you are, I think you'll understand.

Does that work if you have multiple caregivers? Even seeing a doctor, and then getting a scan can involve multiple entities.

    Other providers in the same clinic can be on the same MyChart. Different clinics might have different MyCharts. Some clinics don't user MyChart, or have a different app. And as you said, you may have many providers, and they are not all on the same MyChart.
