Healthcare technology has moved beyond the hospital walls and is now accessible to patients as well as in other healthcare settings such as clinics.  Healthcare technology can be used for direct patient care, exchanging patient information, scheduling (coming soon!), and more.

The patient portal is a key tool in healthcare technology that can provide patients with an efficient method of communication with their healthcare team. Patients can use the portal to request appointments (coming soon), ask clinical questions, or pay bills. Even if you are not “tech-savvy,” you may find a patient portal easy to use.

Woodlawn Health will be implementing a new patient portal when the Epic Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is activated in June 2025.  The Woodlawn Epic patient portal is also referred to as “MyChart.”  Information about signing up for the Woodlawn Epic Patient Portal “MyChart” will be available in the Woodlawn clinics and hospital. You will need to sign up for the Patient Portal and share your email address in order to gain the benefits of the Patient Portal.

Be an active participant in your healthcare today by plugging into healthcare technology and exploring your patient portal!
