Time to Promote MyChart

Clinicians continue to adapt to social distancing. In addition to expanded use of Virtual Care for patient support at-a-distance, Connect Care providers can leverage communication tools in the MyChart patient portal. We'll be posting more about this in the coming weeks.

As of October 2024, MyChart is available to all Albertans with an Alberta Health MyHealth Records account, regardless of their status in Connect Care. For patients who activate, some capabilities can help with clinical communication:

• Secure Messaging - clinicians can communicate with patient portal users and can take advantage of messaging pools to quickly screen incoming messages.
• Results Messaging - results released through the patient portal can be annotated as a form of quick and targeted communication.
• Video Visits - teleconferencing integrated with the patient portal can be easier for patients and providers to use.
