I could understand epic since I think that's mainly for doctors but don't most hospital systems use MyChart or similar portals nowadays to let patients access access their appointments/payment/lab results/doctor notes/etc

MyChart is Epic’s patient frontend.

Epic is a electronic health record (EHR) software used by many hospitals and clinics. It's not the only EHR there are many but it's probably the most known. Doctors usually type patient notes, diagnoses, prescriptions... everything goes in Epic and your team of providers can gain access to see that info.
