Your test results are released to your My Health Connection account after your physician has reviewed them. This is generally within 24 hours. Tests of a very sensitive nature are not released until you are contacted by your doctor first for:

• New HIV results (newly diagnosed – qualitative HIV)
• PET scans – radiology exams that could be used for cancer screening are delayed 7 days (CT, MRI)
• Pathology (results are delayed 14 days)

You may contact your clinic directly to ask them about releasing your results.

Your My Health Connection information comes directly from your electronic medical record at your provider’s office. If you believe something is incorrect, contact your provider.

If you are using the “Refill My Medications” quick link in your My Health Connection account, you can only renew prescriptions that were filled by UCHealth pharmacies. For prescriptions that you have filled at other pharmacies, please contact that pharmacy or your provider.

For non-urgent medical advice, you will generally receive an answer within two business days.

NOTE: Please contact your provider directly if the situation requires immediate attention, or dial 911 if it is an emergency.

As of May 2016, most patients have access to Open Notes! Open Notes is a national initiative to share healthcare providers’ progress notes with their patients. We are the first healthcare system in Colorado to offer this access to patients.

PLEASE NOTE: Open Notes are NOT visible on the mobile MyChart app. Instead, to access Open Notes, please login to your MHC account from your computer web browser to view your provider’s Open Notes. We apologize for this inconvenience.

You now have access to:

• Your provider’s complete progress NOTE about you (available in most cases)
• Your VISIT SUMMARY (you may have already been handed a printout)

Follow these steps to access your provider’s notes:

1. My Visits
2. Open Notes and Visit Summaries
3. Choose the appointment you’re interested in
4. Choose Open Notes tab at top of page to be taken directly to your provider’s note

More information about OPEN NOTES: Our research indicates that patients who read their providers’ notes understand their medical condition better, and develop a more trusting relationship with their providers, resulting in better outcomes. Read more about the national Open Notes initiative at: www.opennotes.org.

Contact your clinic to make this change for you.
