Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) has launched a new patient portal that will give teenaged patients and their parents and carers access to their electronic medical record (EMR) and allow them to see test results and medications, update health information and confirm appointments.

RCH went live with its $48 million Epic EMR in April this year, turning on full clinical functionality on day one. Based on Epic's MyChart technology, the new My RCH Portal is accessible through browsers and as an app for iOS and Android devices.
