Patients at Northwestern Medicine now have an easier way to manage their health information. Introducing MyChart YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION is exactly that—yours. As such, it's important for you to be able to access it at any time, from anywhere. That's why the entire Northwestern Medicine health system offers a secure, online and mobile patient portal called MyChart. ALL IN ONE MyChart is a secure portal to connect patients to their medical records in the Northwestern Medicine health system. Within this portal, patients have the flexibility and freedom to manage their care, day or night. They can access medical history; review test results; schedule, confirm or request appointments; request medication refills; update health history; view as well as pay bills; and send electronic messages to some of their doctors. "Patients can access this information from their appointments across the entire health system," says Cynthia Opie, MyChart Marketing Manager. "For example, patients can view their medical records from visits with physicians at Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb, test results from Northwestern Memorial downtown, and laboratory results from Northwestern Medicine labs anywhere in the system." "Northwestern Medicine is always looking for ways to put patients first," Opie says. "Offering this tool is another way to enhance our patients-first mission. Patients can experience an easier, safe and more convenient way to manage their healthcare information." Signing up for MyChart is easy. Visit nm.org/MyChart and follow the instructions.
