As the seasons change, staying connected to your care team has never been easier with MyChart, the secure online portal available to all UIHS clients. MyChart puts your health information at your fingertips and helps you manage your care with just a few clicks. Here are some tips and tricks to help you make the most of it this fall:
1. Download the Mobile App
Take your health with you wherever you go. The MyChart app (available for iPhone and Android) lets you check appointments, review test results, and message your provider directly from your phone.
2. Set Up Notifications
Don’t miss important updates! Turn on push notifications or text alerts to receive reminders about upcoming visits, prescription refills, or new messages from your care team.
3. Use eCheck-In Before Appointments
Save time in the waiting room by completing eCheck-In ahead of your visit. You can update your medications, allergies, and contact details from home, making your check-in process faster and easier.
4. Manage Prescriptions
Running low on medication? Request prescription refills directly through MyChart. You’ll also be able to see when refills are ready at your UIHS pharmacy.
5. Share Access with Family
If you’re caring for a loved one, you can request proxy access to view their records and manage appointments on their behalf—ideal for parents or caregivers.
6. Keep Track of Immunizations
With cold and flu season here, MyChart makes it simple to review your immunization history and stay up-to-date.
This fall, let MyChart help you stay organized, save time, and feel more in control of your health journey. If you need assistance getting started, UIHS staff are here to help—just ask at your next visit.
