Community briefs Charting a New Course Opening lines of communication with MyChart E ComputeR photo by thinkstoCk oNliNe lectronic medical records are providing new ways for patients to stay connected to their healthcare information and providers. Community Care Network physicians and the hospitals of Community Healthcare System offer MyChart, a free, easy and secure way for patients to use the Internet to view medical information and communicate with their healthcare team. Snezana Zubic, MD, an internist on the staff at St. Mary Medical Center, says she has successfully used MyChart with many of her patients. She says her patients use MyChart for everything from asking for her advice to checking their blood results to looking over her comments and interpretations. "My patients are pretty technologically and computer savvy and want to have the ability to access their charts," Zubic says. "They want to be able to communicate. Most of them appreciate it across the generations. It gives my patients comfort knowing that I am accessible." "Patients really like the after-visit summary," says Nancy Hoehn, office manager for Community Care Network family practitioner John Hoehn, DO. "Our patients usually come in with more than one concern. If they haven't remembered everything that was discussed during their visit, the details will be on the summary and they can follow up with an email question. They say, 'Hey, I forgot this while I was there,' " she explains. "MyChart is a nice feature that's increasing communication between patients and the doctor's office."
