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. My Care Connection 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.
My Care Connection includes the following medical information:
- Lab reports (Results can be viewed in text and in a graph.)
- Height and Weight Graph
- HbA1c Graph
- Hospital admissions
- Clinic visit data
Another purpose of My Care Connection is to improve communication. There is a Question and Answer section where you can ask non-urgent questions. Your question will be answered by a caregiver within one business day. Both questions and answers can only be viewed on My Care Connection. Any urgent question should be directed to Diabetes Center, 513-636-2444, 1-800-344-2462.
The My Care Connection Online Patient System 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.
