Your Orlando Health MyChart information comes directly from your electronic medical record at your doctor's office. Ask your doctor to correct any inaccurate information at your next clinic visit. Your health information is reviewed and updated in your electronic medical record each visit. You may also submit a chart correction request to have the information reviewed by our Health Information Management team (Medical Records) within MyChart.
Yes, we are in the process of adding your past information into our new electronic health record. When this process is complete, you will be able to view your Results from 2018* forward in MyChart.

To request a change to your legal name in MyChart, contact your provider’s office. Or ask the staff to correct your name at your next clinic visit.
Family
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.
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.
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.
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.
No, due to the sensitive nature of medical information, each adult must establish their own Orlando Health MyChart account. If a patient choose's to share medical information with their spouse, they can grant them proxy access.
