"Office Visit (1-2 problems)" appointment type was updated to include language to communicate that this appointment type is not intended to establish care.
- The Find a Doctor application embedded into the Epic MyChart and Cerner HealtheLife portals will now offer the ability for an authenticated user to schedule online appointments for providers that offer the service.
