COMMUNITY New Patient Portal Provides More Features Access your health records, schedule appointments and pay bills online. P atients who have been using the online patient portal myUNCHealthLink will love the expanded features available through My UNC Chart. This new portal gives UNC Health Care's patients access to their personal health records and lab results from the comfort of their homes, and enables secure access from iOS or Android smartphones and tablets through the My UNC Chart app. Patients can make payments online toward outstanding balances and access up to 18 billing account summaries. With My UNC Chart, patients can communicate with their physicians, request prescription refills and schedule appointments directly. In April, UNC Health Care launched a new electronic medical record (EMR) system, and the patient portal associated with this EMR system, My UNC Chart, has replaced myUNCHealthLink. It provides coordinated, real-time information for both patients and their medical providers to ensure the highest quality of care possible. The new EMR system eventually will reach across all UNC Health Care locations, which will create one system for medical records across UNC Health Care. It provides a full financial, scheduling, clinical and patient portal for UNC Health Care patients. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK Why Now? "We have entered a new era of health care where accountability for quality and costs for individual patients and populations is required. This requires integrated clinical care by teams of health care professionals who can share information with one another," says Allen Daugird, MD, MBA, president of UNC Physicians. For many years, UNC Hospitals relied upon its own EMR system. Meanwhile, UNC Health Care affiliates, Rex Healthcare and Chatham Hospital, as well as much of UNC Physicians Network, were working with completely separate EMR systems. Additionally, many more separate information technology systems were used throughout UNC Health Care to support functions such as pharmacy, registration, scheduling and billing. UNC Health Care has replaced the most important of these systems with integrated software of clinical and financial products that provide real-time data for patients and providers.

On April 4, My UNC Chart replaced myUNCHealthLink with more features and more ways to stay connected. You will still need to log on to myUNCHealthLink to pay UNC Hospitals or UNC Faculty Physicians bills for care provided before April 4, 2014. However, for all care provided after April 4, 2014, you will use My UNC Chart to make a payment. www.unchealthcare.org 5 https://www.myuncchart.org/mychart/ https://www.myuncchart.org/mychart/ https://www.myuncchart.org/mychart/ https://www.myuncchart.org/mychart/ http://www.unchealthcare.org
