Our new electronic health record (EHR) system will allow you to access all of your personal health information in one place and streamline care across health providers via MyChart.
Below you will find the latest information to navigate your care. For additional details and more in-depth information, visit our FAQ page.
This update is part of our effort to make all of your University Hospitals medical records available through MyChart. Your new portal will not only improve treatment – it will allow you to manage nearly every aspect of your care.
UH MyChart offers eCheck-in so you can complete forms, update insurance, current medications and other personal information up to 7 days before your appointment.
There are several different methods of MyChart signup that might be used by different departments across your healthcare organization:
We take great care to ensure your health information is kept private and secure. Access to information is controlled through secure activation codes, personal usernames and passwords. Each person controls their password, and the account must be accessed using that password. On mobile, the account may also be accessed using face ID or fingerprint login. Unlike conventional email, all MyChart messaging is done while you are securely logged in to our website or mobile app.
You can ensure that your account stays secure even if someone else has your username or password by turning on two-step verification. When this feature is turned on, you must enter a code that is sent to you by email or text message to log in to MyChart, in addition to using your username and password. For more information, check out our helpful video on two-step verification.
You might receive email or text notifications that contain links to MyChart. These notifications allow you to login to MyChart securely using a link that expires after a short time. Keeping your MyChart account secure means keeping your phone number and email account secure. If you think your phone number or email account may be compromised, you can change the phone number or email on file on the “Personal Information” page in MyChart. For further assistance, contact our MyChart Patient Support Line 24/7 at 216-286-8960.
