Abstract
Patients of The Health Center in Plainfield, Vermont have limited access to the patient portal, MyChart, and providers do not have time to provide education during office visits. Access to and utilization of MyChart facilitates patient engagement, care coordination, caregiver involvement, and patient-provider communication. Patient access to electronic health record information has been found to improve medication adherence, improve blood sugar and blood pressure control, and reduce admissions. To address this, pamphlets with portal sign-up instructions were distributed in the clinic visit rooms and posters with QR code linked to the MyChart registration website were placed in the waiting room. These pamphlets and posters will give providers and staff a simple way to help their patients gain access and facilitate conversations about MyChart.
