At AnewVista Community Services, we understand the importance of convenient access to healthcare. This guide will walk you through using the MyChart / MyHealth mobile app to manage your health information and appointments from your smartphone or tablet. We'll use scheduling a vaccination as an example.
What is the MyChart / MyHealth App?
The MyChart / MyHealth app is a free mobile application that allows you to access your medical records, communicate with your doctor, and manage your appointments, all from your mobile device. It's a convenient way to stay connected to your healthcare team, especially when you're on the go.
How to Make an Appointment Using the MyChart / MyHealth App
Let's say you need to schedule your annual flu shot. Here's how you would do it using the MyChart / MyHealth app:
NOTE: If the situation is urgent or an emergency, dial 911
Log in: Enter your MyChart / MyHealth username and password to log in. If you've forgotten your password, there's usually a "Forgot Password" link to help you reset it.
Navigate to Appointments: Look for an icon or menu option labeled "Appointments," "Schedule an Appointment," or something similar. The exact wording might vary slightly depending on your healthcare provider. Tap on it.
Choose the Type of Appointment: You'll likely see a list of appointment types. In our example, you might see options like "Flu Shot," "Vaccination," or "Annual Check-up." Select the type of appointment you need (in this case, "Flu Shot" or "Vaccination").
Answer any Questions that may appear: “Do You Need Help with this appointment?” Do you have any allergies?...”
Choose a Date and Time: The system will show you available appointment slots. Browse through the dates and times and select one that works best for you. MyChart / MyHealth often allows you to filter by date range or time of day.
Confirm Your Appointment: Once you've chosen a date and time, review the appointment details to make sure everything is correct. Then, click the "Confirm Appointment" button.
Receive Confirmation: You should receive a confirmation message, either on the screen or via email, with the details of your scheduled appointment. It's a good idea to write down the date and time in your calendar as a reminder.
Tips for Using MyChart/MyHealth
Keep Your Phone Secure: Use a strong passcode or other security features on your phone to protect your health information.
Take your time: Don't feel rushed. Take each step slowly and carefully.
Ask for help: If you get stuck or have any questions, don't hesitate to contact your healthcare provider's office or MyChart / MyHealth support for assistance. AnewVista Community Services can also help guide you.
Write down your login information: Keep your username and password in a safe place.
Practice regularly: The more you use MyChart / MyHealth, the easier it will become.
