The Personal Notes feature allows you to add your own secure notes about your healthcare right where you need them most.

You may add personal notes on the following pages:

• Allergies
• Medications
• Problems
• Immunizations
• Preventive Care
• Medical / Social / Surgical / FamilyHistory
• Family Status

Your provider might request that you record information such as your daily glucose or blood pressure readings in MyChart. The order is called a"flowsheet" in MyChart.When you enter the information in the flowsheet, your provider automatically receives the readings so he can monitor your progress between visits.

Below are instructions for connecting a flowsheet to a health tracking device such as Google Fit or Apple Health to complete the provider order request.

Family Access

If you have access to your family members' medical records, you can view most of the information in their records in the same way that you view your own. Some things that might be useful include viewing a family member's test results or your child's immunization records.

To switch to a proxy record, change the name in the upper right drop-down menu.

To access a family member's record, you first need permission. After you've received permission, you can view their records by hovering over the icons in the top toolbar and clicking on the appropriate record.

After you read the Proxy Access Disclaimer, click Accept to continue to your family member's chart.

When you are in your child's record in MyChart, go to Your Menu >Health Summary > Immunizations. You can see the immunizations your child has received and the dates on which she received them. Click the immunization name to learn more.
