Beginning January 19, there will be changes to the amount of access you have to your child’s health information through MyMercy. The changes vary depending on the age of your child.

Get answers to frequently asked questions about upcoming changes to account access:

Account Access through MyMercy is how individuals (parents/guardians or those who’ve been granted access) view the health information of other individuals online.

There’s a good chance you’ve never even accessed provider and clinician notes on your MyMercy account. They are detailed documentation of the discussion between the patient and provider. Notes could include, but are not limited to, recommendations made during the office visit, provider's findings from a physical exam or provider's thoughts about results of lab tests, x-rays, scans, biopsies or other studies. To access notes on your own MyMercy account, simply click on Visits, choose a visit and click on View Notes.

If you have questions about these account access changes, please discuss them with your provider at your next visit.

In accordance with the 21st Century Cures Act, which seeks to provide patients and anyone responsible for a patient’s care with complete, timely access to health information, Mercy is making changes to the type of account access available to account of minors to ensure confidentiality in the patient-provider relationship. As advocates for our most vulnerable patients, we must address their needs for dignity and privacy to ensure open communication with their care team, so they receive the best possible health care.
