New features
Electronic prescription of controlled substances
To make it easier for you to fill prescriptions, your child’s provider may now send prescriptions for controlled substances directly to your pharmacy. If your child already takes a controlled substance, you no longer need a paper prescription. You may pick up your medication at a participating pharmacy without needing to drop off a prescription beforehand. To request a refill, call your child’s provider.
Open Notes
To help you feel more involved in your child’s care, we have added a feature in MYchart called Open Notes. Through Open Notes, you can now view providers’ notes in MYchart. Notes often cover information about diagnoses, tests, procedures, medicines and treatment plans.
- The timing for when you can view notes depends upon the care setting.
- Only notes from doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners completed after March 10, 2021, will be available in MYchart.
- Certain notes may not be available in MYchart due to state or federal regulations. You may be able to access some notes that are not available in MYchart by requesting your child’s medical record.
What does Open Notes mean for me?
You can now view providers’ notes about your child’s care in MYchart and MYchart Bedside. Providers include doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Notes often cover information about diagnoses, tests, procedures, medicines and treatment plans.
How can I benefit from viewing notes?
You are an important part of your child’s care team, and we want you to feel informed. We hope this will give you a chance to feel more involved with your child’s care.
How does it work?
Providers will add notes to your child’s electronic health record, and they will be shared with you in MYchart and MYchart Bedside. You can then:
- Review your child’s records at any time.
- Learn more about your child’s plan of care.
- Read notes and think of questions to ask the care team.
- Share information with your child, family and other caregivers as needed.
To learn more, ask your child’s care team for more information about MYchart and MYchart Bedside.
Where can I view notes?
You can view notes by accessing:
- MYchart: Log in from your cell phone, tablet or computer. If you do not have an existing login, you must first activate an account.
- MYchart Bedside (when your child is staying in the hospital): Log in from the tablet provided to you or your personal tablet. MYchart Bedside uses a temporary account that you can activate and turn into a full MYchart account if you do not have one.
When can I view notes?
The timing for when you can view notes depends upon the care setting.
Will I be able to view all notes about my child?
Only notes from doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners completed after March 10, 2021, will be released to MYchart and MYchart Bedside.
- Certain notes may not be available in MYchart and MYchart Bedside due to state or federal regulations that limit sharing of such notes with minors’ parents or legal guardians.
- You may be able to access some notes that are not available in MYchart and MYchart Bedside through the normal medical records request process. Notes completed before March 10, 2021, will also need to be requested in this manner because they will not be made available in MYchart or MYchart Bedside.
Can my child view notes?
Teen accounts are available to patients 13 to 18 years of age and will allow them access to some notes with their parent’s or guardian’s consent. Patients ages 18 years and older have full access to notes.
If you do not have a MYchart account, you will need to request access.
