MyChart and Apps

Technology offers tools to help you manage your transition journey. Children’s Health℠ encourages the use of MyChart, an online medical records system used by many major health care systems. Through MyChart, you are able to access your medical record and history through the transition from Children’s Health to adult care.  

  • Starting at age 14, a patient can sign up for their own MyChart account.
  • At age 18, a parent’s access to their teenager’s MyChart account will end. If continued access to a MyChart account is needed, contact the HIM department and provide a copy of legal medical decision-making documents.
  • At age 18, a patient can share their Children’s Health MyChart record by choosing to give access to friends and family.

For more information and directions on how to share access in MyChart, click here.

For questions or assistance with MyChart, contact the Health Information Management office at 214-456-2509.

There are many other tools, such as mobile apps, to assist with transition. Click below to see the condition specific apps available from Children’s Health: 

  • Diabetes App
  • Asthma Buddy Drive App

Teen and Young Adult Advisory Council
