We've reached another exciting milestone for better connecting patients with their health care: more than 200,000 Albertans now have access to their Connect Care health record through MyAHS Connect! A big thank you to prescribers at Connect Care sites who have encouraged their patients to “get connected”. MyAHS Connect gives patients the opportunity to be a more active member of their healthcare team using their smartphone, tablet or computer – it’s a win-win for patients and care teams.
As previously posted, there is an initiative that enables Connect Care prescribers to activate their own MyAHS Connect account and experience firsthand the benefits of a full-feature patient portal. Personal access can also help clinicians help patients who ask questions about patient portal functions. Nearly 3,200 AHS staff and prescribers have completed the self sign-up process to activate their own MyAHS Connect account!
For more information about MyAHS Connect, including the self sign-up process, see the below resources. (Edit: As of October 4, 2024, MyAHS Connect is available to all Albertans with a MyHealth Records account. Prescribers who would like to access their own MyAHS Connect account can do so by logging in to their MyHealth Records account.)
