What is the Purpose of My Care Connection?
The purpose of My Care Connection is to improve the quality of patient care. It includes accurate, up-to-date medical record information. The portal supports your ability to manage your child's condition. It provides information you need to be an active, informed member of our health care team.
The portal includes:
- Lab results (Results can be viewed in text and in a graph)
- Height and weight data (with a graph)
- Lung function data (with a graph)
- Recent clinic visit dates
- An area where you can ask non-urgent questions to specific members of the Cystic Fibrosis Care team. Your question will be answered by a caregiver within three business days.
Both questions and answers can only be viewed on the portal. If you have a communication requiring more urgent attention, call your Cystic Fibrosis nurse or physician or contact the pulmonary physician on call at 513-636-4200 or long distance at 800-344-2462.
Because we want to provide you with the best information on your child's care, My Care Connection is continuously being updated and expanded. We're working on new sections on medications, immunizations and test results.
My Care Connection is not intended to replace the personal relationships you have with your caregivers. It is intended to provide an additional resource to share information. You are still encouraged to communicate directly with your caregivers.
