When your results are released to MyChart:

  2. Diagnostic imaging reports are released after 5 days.
  3. Bloodwork results are released as soon as they are available. Bloodwork results outside of the ‘normal’ range are released after 5 days.  Not all results outside of the normal range are ‘abnormal’ or need follow up. This includes low (L) or high (H) results.

Viewing your appointments:

We ask you to review your appointments on MyChart.  You can see your upcoming appointments under ‘visits’ on MyChart. You will receive appointment reminders by email or text 2 days before your scheduled appointment. Please provide us with an email address and/or cell phone number. Update your ‘communication preferences’ on MyChart.  Look for communication preferences in the MyChart menu under ‘account settings’.

Checking in for your appointments:

We ask you to complete eCheck-in on MyChart within 24 hours of your appointment. This allows you to complete:

  • Your Symptoms Matter or Your Symptoms Matter: Prostate Cancer and                 
  • Communicable Disease (COVID) screening  

You still need to check-in at a computer when you arrive at the cancer centre. This lets your healthcare team know you have arrived for your appointments. ECheck-in reduces the time you need to be at a computer in the cancer centre. Use a computer located on the same level as your appointment to complete your check-in.  

Sharing your health record on MyChart:

You can share your health record on MyChart with a family member(s).  Sharing your health record allows your family member(s) to see all of the health records and information included in your MyChart.

If you have a problem with the sign up for MyChart or have a concern to share:
