MyCare Patient Portal

As noted elsewhere on these pages, the electronic health record is a digital archive of relevant data and information about patient care.

So can an individual patient access his or her own information?

Yes!

Secure, Online Access

MyCare is available through a physician's office and to patients discharged from participating Texas Health hospitals. Ask your doctor whether he or she offers MyCare and sign up today! Participating Physicians

Texas Health Resources and certain physicians are pleased to offer MyCare, an online portal for viewing selected health information. All patients admitted to a participating Texas Health hospital — and outpatient surgery patients — are now discharged with an activation code and instructions on registering for their own MyCare account. 

MyCare is a convenient and user-friendly tool that allows patients to access important parts of their own health record from any Internet connection. It also allows direct online communication with the patient's physician.

MyCare is encrypted and password-protected, too, so health data remains secure.

MyCare can promote wellness and empower patients to better maintain their health with benefits such as:

Enhanced Safety

• Simplifies the prescription drug refill process and helps to minimize medication errors
• Allows you to review recent test results from your physician

Improved Quality

  • Patient educational material through Medline Plus
