Family Access

You can use your OSF MyChart account to request access to medical records of family members – or invite them to access yours. This is called proxy access, and some restrictions may apply.

How to Set Up

To learn more or get started, scroll theMenuon your home page to theCommunicationsection, and click onRequest Family Access.Only legal parents and legal guardians can request access to a child’s record.

Children

You will need to submit a form to request access for children age 0-11. The form is available in your OSF MyChart account:

Scroll theMenuto theCommunicationsection and click onRequest Family Access. Click on the link “Submit request to access a minor’s record.”

Ages 12 - 17

Access for a child age 12-17 must be requested directly through your OSF HealthCare office. A form can be completed in person or by phone with the patient and parent/legal guardian.

The following limitations apply for OSF MyChart access:

  • If your child is age 0-11: You will be granted full access to your child’s OSF MyChart account.
  • If your child is age 12-17:Due to federal and state laws, when a child reaches the age of 12, access to their OSF MyChart account will become limited to parents/legal guardians. An OSF MyChart Child 12-17 Authorization form must be requested directly through your OSF HealthCare office. Limited access will only include access to allergies and immunizations on file.
  • If legal decisions, rulings, or judgements related to parental rights have been made that may impact OSF MyChart access, additional information may be required.
  • If we are unable to validate your relationship to the child (within either age range), you may be asked to provide a copy of their birth certificate.
  • Once your child turns 18: Proxy access is discontinued. Review the information below for help accessing an adult account through OSF MyChart.

注意:这些年龄范围的限制不影响您通过其他方式获取您孩子的记录的任何法律权利。如需您孩子的纸质记录，请联系提供护理的OSF设施以获取记录副本。

Adult Family Members

您还可以获得访问OSF MyChart成年家庭成员帐户的许可，或邀请他们访问您的帐户。

From your home page, scroll theMenuto theCommunicationsection and click onRequest Family Access. Then click the “Friends and Family Access” link. From there, you can grant or revoke access.

If an adult family member is incapacitated or unable to communicate, you may request access to their account by submitting a form and relevant legal documents (such as power of attorney) to your loved one’s provider or the hospital.

A printable copy of the form for adult family members can be downloaded from a link on theRequest Family Accesspage.

注意:文件将需要与患者的初级保健提供者完成，以正确地记录患者丧失能力或无法沟通。
