Patient Portal

MyChart Mobile App & MyChart for Desktop

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Your Patient Portal helps you stay connected, access care, manage appointments, and more! You can access your portal in two ways.

The MyChart ​​​​Mobile App works with​ your smartphone or tablet. It's easy to use and offers bonus features, like on-demand video visits. 

MyChart for Desktop provides a classic interface for those who prefer to manage their care on a computer.

Two-step authentication for MyChart coming June 8

To help keep your MyChart account and your information as safe and secure as possible, two-step authentication to log in will be required for all MyChart users beginning June 8, 2025. This impacts access through a browser on your computer as well as through the mobile app.

This means after signing into MyChart with your username and password or biometric login option, you will be required to enter a single-use code that will be sent to you via email, text message, or using an authenticator app like Microsoft Authenticator.

How do I prepare for two-step authentication?

To prepare for two-step authentication, we recommend the following:

  • Verify that your email address and phone number are up to date in your account settings in MyChart.

  • Download and set up an authenticator app such as Microsoft Authenticator if this will be your preferred method. (Not required)

  • Request and establish Proxy Access if you are a family member or caregiver who will need to access a patient’s account to assist them in management of their care, especially if you won’t have immediate access to their two-step authentication options such as text and email when logging in. Learn more about Proxy Access in the FAQs below. Note: It is important for those with Proxy Access to ensure their own contact information is up to date.

Can I disable two-step authentication?

As of June 8, you will not have the option to disable two-step authentication. However, the first time you log-in using the process, you will be given the option to set that device as a trusted device. Once you've set your trusted device, you will only be prompted to use two-step authentication periodically, not every time you log in. It is important to note, logins on additional devices will require the two-step process the first time you log in through them.

What if I don’t receive a code?

If you choose to receive a code via email and it doesn’t arrive, check your spam or junk folders to see if the email was directed there. If it is not, try clicking Resend Code. If you do not receive the code after attempting a resend, you can call our support line at 513-522-4278 (52-CHART).

Important note: Inaccurate contact information for your account can also keep you from receiving the code, which is why it is important to verify this information before it is required.​

​​FAQs

​Which app should I be using?

As of May 1, 2025, we transitioned to usage of the MyChart Mobile App and users are no longer able to log into The Christ Hospital Mobile App. You can download and install the MyChart App at the links above or by searching your app store for MyChart. The app functions are the same and you will log in with the same username and password that you use in the app or in MyChart. If you forgot your username or password, please see “I forgot my password FAQ.” If you used face ID, touch ID, biometrics (Android), or passcode you will need to set that up again. Please see how to set this up in the FAQ below.

Why does my mobile app say, “App retired?”

Check to be sure that you are using the current MyChart Mobile App, as we have transitioned to full time use of that app for access to your patient portal. You can download and install the MyChart App at the links above or by searching your app store for MyChart. Further details about the transition are covered in the question above.

How do I set up face ID, touch ID, biometrics or passcode in the MyChart App?

If you prefer to use face ID, touch ID, biometrics (Android), or passcode to log into the MyChart app on your mobile device, you will need to set this up by logging in to your account and then go to Account Setting.

To get to Account Settings, after logging in, tap on the circle icon with the first letter of your first name on it. Press the menu button in the upper right hand corner, scroll down and tap ‘Account Settings.’

Once in Account Settings tap on the toggle to enable face ID, touch ID, biometrics (Android) or passcode.

If you forgot your username or password to log in, tap on the reset links on the log in screen.

I forgot my password. What should I do?

Tap on the “Forgot Password” link on the sign in page to reset your username or password. You can access the link to reset here: MyChart - Password Reset Page.

If you need additional assistance, please call our Patient Support Line at 1-513-522-4278 (52-CHART).

Can I see clinical notes from my provider in my patient portal?

To ensure transparency, you are now able to see clinical notes that your provider and healthcare team, including nurses and medical assistants, document about your care. Examples include: progress notes, history & physicals, discharge summaries, procedure notes and consult notes.

We encourage you to review your notes and discuss any questions you may have with your provider (you can find the notes under Visits, then Visits). This is just one more way you and your provider can collaborate on your care.

What test results can I see in my patient portal, and how soon are they posted?

Test results (both normal and abnormal) are available as soon as they're complete in our lab, pathology and imaging departments. This means you may see test results before your provider has had a chance to review them.

Here are some helpful tips and resources you may want to reference in advance of seeing your test results:

  • Results can be "Negative" or "Unremarkable." This is the same as "Normal."

  • Results can be "H" for "high" or "L" for "low," indicating "outside of normal range." Very often, such results are not a reason to worry.

  • We will contact patients with serious findings as quickly as we can, but we cannot guarantee any specific timeframe, as we are sometimes caring for patients in the office or surgical suites when test results come through.

  • Because of possible worrisome findings, some patients may elect to wait a day or two for their provider to contact them (online message, phone call, mailed letter), before looking at their results.

  • We will aim to discuss possible results at the time of ordering the test, so you know what to expect.

  • Some patients and providers will arrange a follow-up visit (video visit or in-person visit) to discuss the results.

  • If you have an immediate concern after reviewing your test results, you can message or call your provider's office. Otherwise we prefer that you wait 1–2 days for us to contact you to discuss your results (or we may discuss them at your next appointment).

  • Patients who choose to look at their results immediately may feel comfortable researching answers online. Here are some helpful internet resources you can use to read more about specific tests:

How do I share my health record with my family or view their health record (Pro​xy Access)?

This is called proxy access. It allows a family member, caregiver, or guardian to log in to their personal patient portal and connect to information regarding their family member with their consent. Parents and guardians of minors will also need to complete a Proxy Consent Form and return it to one of our medical facilities to request access to this convenient service.

To provide Proxy Access through MyChart:

  • Log in to MyChart (app or website) then select "Sharing Hub" from the menu.

  • Select Family member, close friend, or caretaker button

  • Click Manage ongoing access to your MyChart Account

  • Click Invite friends or family

  • Enter accurate information for the individual you are sharing with

  • They will receive an email with instructions to Accept the Proxy Invite

  • Your invitation status will show as pending until they accept the invitation

Note: Proxy Access requires two-step verification for the representative accessing your records, so it is important that they maintain accurate contact information. 
You can revoke Proxy Access at any time from the Sharing Hub in MyChart.

How do I pre-register for our delivery at the Birthing Center?

To make your delivery as smooth as possible, you can now pre-register for labor & delivery through your patient portal (previously, pre-registration was done over the phone).

The whole process takes about five minutes and allows you to pre-register at your convenience — ideally around your third month.

Steps to pre-register:

  1. Log in to your MyChart (app or website).

  2. Click "Visits" then From the menu select, "Register for My Delivery."

  3. Follow the prompts: select your estimated delivery date and hospital (Mt. Auburn or Liberty); verify your demographic information; and then complete your insurance information - have your insurance card handy!

Questions? Call our pre-registration team at 513-585-0700.

Can I use my patient portal to show my COVID-19 vaccination status?

Yes! If need to show documentation that you received your COVID-19 vaccine and booster, you can access your record through your patient portal.

Select Covid-19 in the menu (under the "My Record" section).

To see additional detail about your vaccine, click the down arrow.

To print your vaccination record, select the orange "Download/Export" button. You can then save the PDF to your mobile device or computer and print if needed.

Adding Your COVID-19 Vaccination Info into your Patient Portal:

You can submit your vaccine information in a few different ways.​You can check state and local registries, like the Ohio Department of Health, that we have synced with MyChart for vaccinations that were not received at The Christ Hospital Health Network. This will allow you to automatically verify your vaccination information if all the information below is present:

  • Your vaccination has a status of received, along with a valid administration date and lot number.

  • The identifying information matches your information in MyChart, including name, date of birth, sex, and address or phone number.

  • If you check these registries and your vaccine information is available BUT cannot be verified, you can confirm or discard it. This happens when not all the information noted above has been received.

  • If your vaccine information is NOT available after you check the state and local registries, you can manually update it through a questionnaire and submit it for review.

How are my privacy and personal information protected?

Our patient portals are fully compliant with federal and state laws pertaining to your privacy. Your name and email address will be treated with the same care and privacy given your health records and will never be sold or leased.

We take great care to ensure your health information is kept private and secure. Access to information is controlled through secure access codes, personal ID's, and passwords.

Each person controls their password, and the account cannot be accessed without that password. The Christ Hospital Mobile App uses the latest 128-bit SSL encryption technology with no caching to automatically encrypt your session within the App. Unlike conventional email, all messaging is done while you are securely logged in.

The Christ Hospital has been working to provide you with convenient access to care and services through enhanced technology solutions such as telehealth and MyChart. While clinical care outside of the traditional setting allows for additional physical safety and convenience, it also introduces data security and privacy risks that malicious groups aim to take advantage of.

To address these concerns, The Christ Hospital is constantly vetting our implementation of technology to ensure that your data is protected. You also play a critical role in data protection when communicating with us through technology.

Here are some tips for using our services safely and securely:

  • Configure your computers, mobile devices, and applications with strong passwords or biometric locks.

  • Never share your passwords with others.

  • Install a reputable antivirus product on your computer and make sure all software is up to date.

  • Encrypt devices and other media that contain sensitive information.

  • Try to avoid connecting to the public internet while working with sensitive web-based services.

  • Secure your home network.

  • You can do a video visit from almost anywhere, but make sure you are in a place with sufficient privacy, such as behind a closed door so you have control over who can hear the conversation.

  • Maintain a healthy skepticism of unsolicited emails, text messages or phone calls related to COVID-19 and always validate legitimacy before providing information.

Refer to our Patient App Health Information Privacy Policy [update to correct policy after colleens convo with legal] for more information about our collection and uses of your information through our mobile app and what choices you have regarding that information. Please reach out to your healthcare provider with any questions or concerns related to our services.
