Family
Can I view a family member's health record in Orlando Health MyChart?
Yes, you can. This is called proxy access and allows a patient to log in to their personal Orlando Health MyChart account and then grant access to a family member. To do this, the patients needs to log into their Orlando Health MyChart account and search for “Share My Record.” From there they will select “Friends and Family Access” to add you. A second way to get proxy access is for a patient and family member to complete a Proxy Authorization form and return it to one of our medical facilities.
Can I view my family member's health record in Orlando Health MyChart.
Will I be able to see all of my child's info once I have proxy access to my child's account?
- The proxy access you have will change based on the age of your child.
- Birth - 11-years-old: You will have full access.
- 12 - 17-years-old: Your proxy access will continue but the system will automatically restrict certain information to you based on Florida law.
- 18-years-old: The system will automatically remove your proxy access.
How do I get access to my child's Orlando Health MyChart account?
There are multiple ways for you to gain proxy access to your child's Orlando Health MyChart account.
- Option 1: If your child is 12 years of age or older and they have their own Orlando Health MyChart account, they can grant you access from within "Friends and Family Access".
- Option 2: For adolescents, between 12-17 years of age, parents can request proxy access during their next schedule office visit. A team member will grant the parent proxy access. This process must be done in person and not over the phone.
Can I ask questions regarding a family member from my Orlando Health MyChart account?
No, you cannot ask through your own account, but you can message on behalf of a family member if you have proxy access to their account.
Can my spouse and I share one Orlando Health MyChart account?
