Patients throughout Pierce and South King counties may now access their own personal medical information online through MultiCare’s My Chart, a secure Web portal provided free of charge.
Patients can enroll in the secure online system and book appointments, request prescription refills and view personal medical information including lab results, imaging results and immunization records at anytime via the Internet. My Chart, formerly known as My MultiCare, now provides enhanced access to personal medical information.
New additions to My Chart include proxy access, which enables parents, guardians and other caregivers to request a referral, pay a bill online, print wallet cards, schedule appointments and receive important reminders on behalf of their children or someone under their care.
All MultiCare primary care providers and various community providers are now participating in the online system. Primary care providers in East Pierce County are the newest providers to offer this service. Patients interested in signing up for My Chart may request an access code at multicare.org, a MultiCare clinic office, Urgent Care Center or can request an authorization form by mail.
“Technology is making it easier than ever before to actively participate in our healthcare,” said Bruce Gregg, MD, internist at the Auburn MultiCare Clinic. “My Chart, allows patients to easily and securely obtain information about their medical visits and request services online. This not only adds efficiencies to providing care in our clinics, but, more importantly, creates conveniences for our patients.”
My Chart is a component of MultiCare Connect, a single, electronic health records system within the clinics and hospitals of the MultiCare Health System. This system allows immediate, secure access to a single, comprehensive health record each time a patient visits a MultiCare hospital or doctor. With MultiCare Connect in place, MultiCare is one of only a few health systems in the nation to implement a comprehensive electronic health records system.
