Department of Medicine Weekly Roundup - February 22nd - Enhancements coming to MyChart on Feb. 21
Please be reminded that effective Feb. 21, Unity Health will be introducing enhancements to the existing MyChart portal to provide patients with access to the following results, which were previously excluded from the portal:
- At St. Joseph’s – patients will now have access to laboratory and imaging results for microbiology, cytology and pathology
- At St. Michael’s – patients will now have access to laboratory and imaging results for microbiology, cytology and pathology AND vascular and cardiology results
Please note that these enhancements were initiated nearly a year ago, with support from Unity Health’s Patient and Family Council, Executive Committee and Medical Advisory Committee, to improve the patient experience. These enhancements do not impact the new MyChart patient portal that will be launching with our Epic EPR system later this year.
If patients have questions, please let them know that there is no obligation to review their results ahead of an appointment. Patients can also be reminded that results should be discussed with the ordering physician or nurse practitioner before deciding what to do next. A similar message will be posted on the landing page of patients’ MyChart portal as of Feb. 21.
If you have any questions about these changes, please reach out to [email protected] or [email protected]. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation.
