How can patients access their medical records at OSF?

Patients can access their medical records at OSF through the patient portal, MyChart. This option is designed to provide a secure and convenient way for individuals to view their health information, including test results, appointment details, and medication lists. By using MyChart, patients can access their records anytime and from anywhere, which promotes engagement in their own healthcare management. The use of a digital platform like MyChart also ensures that the information remains protected and confidential, in compliance with healthcare regulations.

Other methods such as requesting paper copies, making phone calls, or visiting in person may not provide the same level of immediate and comprehensive access to medical records as MyChart does. These alternatives might also involve longer wait times or require additional steps that MyChart circumvents, enhancing the overall patient experience.
