  I visit my patient portal after every office/lab visit. There is a note at the top of the page to contact them if there are any errors. I have done that in the past to correct notes from my 1st med onc.

  Steve, all the organizations that care for my wife and I use the same Electronic Medical Record, and they are able to share test results as well with our permission. We pay attention to our After Visit Summaries after every contact. Unfortunately, this is not true for all patients all over the USA
