Now you can do these things and more online. Just sign up for MyChart. It’s a password-protected website and smartphone app that’s available anytime. What is a patient portal? Many hospitals and clinics now have online websites called patient portals. They are an easy, digital way to connect with your provider and your health information. When you sign up for MyChart from CVMC, you create a login name that’s unique to you. You also set up a password that only you know, so you can log in privately. That means the site and your information are secure. What can I do there? You can: ➜ Securely and privately message your healthcare team. ➜ Request prescription refills and see a list of medications that you take. ➜ View personal medical records, like discharge summaries, health history, allergies and medications. ➜ See your test and lab results. ➜ Review records of immunizations that you’ve had and ones that you may need. ➜ Schedule non-urgent appointments. ➜ Update your contact information. ➜ Make bill payments.
