CPN Health Services patients may soon notice a change with the launch of Epic’s MyChart, a new patient portal, on July 14.

With MyChart, CPNHS patients who sign up will have a means to securely access and manage their personal health information online. It allows users to view test results, request prescription refills and schedule urgent care appointments from a mobile device or computer.

What are some examples of ways patients might use MyChart?

  • A parent who remembers a child’s vaccine form is due can find the immunization record on MyChart and email it to the school.
  • Patients can receive refill reminders, put in requests for refills, pick their pharmacy and even track when their prescription is ready.
  • Patients can receive billing alerts, make payments and set up payment plans.
  • For urgent care visits, MyChart offers a way for patients to see open times and schedule the one that works best for them.
  • Patients can see past and future appointments, test results, shots and summaries on their MyChart.
  • Patients can also update personal information such as address, phone number or insurance information.

Learn more and sign up at the Family Reunion Festival

Tribal members attending the Family Reunion Festival can look for the MyChart booth that will be set up there. Information Technology and registration teams can walk patients and their families through the sign-up process. A valid ID is required. Bring your phone if you are able, but if you cannot, there will be tablets available to use at the booth.

Will personal information be safe?

MyChart uses the same encryption as online banking, so patient data stays private. Only you — and anyone you choose — can see it.

Why the change to Epic?

CPNHS hopes MyChart will mean patients spend less time on the phone, have fewer papers to take up space on desks and refrigerators, and have more control of their own health information.

Working with Epic, the nurses and providers at CPNHS will also have instant access to information such as a patient’s surgical history, ER visits, dental records and previous treatments, not just from CPNHS but also from any partner organizations that use Epic.

“This partnership is not merely a technical change. It is a commitment to our mission. We are investing in tools that will allow us to capture and analyze data in real time. With this information, we can make informed decisions that directly impact our patients’ health and well-being,” Dustin Farris, CPNHS’s project director for Epic, said. “We will reduce errors, enhance safety, and personalize care in ways we have only dreamed of. Together, we will not only change how we record information but how we change lives.”
