WellStar Brings Transparency to Patient Records WellStar Health System is deploying an innovative solution to improve the patient experience while providing better patient care. WellStars electronic medical record patient portal, WellStar MyChart, will provide patients with round-the-clock access to their providers notes, in addition to instructions, next steps, medication lists and test results from outpatient medical visits. WellStar is the first Georgia-based health system to offer this service to its patients. Evidence has shown that patients who become part of the care team are more actively involved in their healthcare, and they experience better outcomes with lower costs. When a patient is sick, tired or stressed during a doctors visit, they or their caregivers may forget what the doctor said or prescribed. WellStar MyChart takes away the need to remember every detail by allowing the patient the ability to review this important information on their own schedule. Physician notes provide a concise, comprehensive summary of a patients condition. This information is shared within WellStars electronic health record and shared with the patient through WellStar MyChart. To sign up for a WellStar MyChart account, you can visit your WellStar Medical Group physician or WellStar facility to receive an activation code, or visit MyChart.Wellstar.org/MyChart/. For additional assistance or details, please speak with your healthcare provider.
