A big part of staying healthy is staying connected — removing the barriers that keep patients from their medical information and the doctors and professionals that care for them. To provide better access, we offer digital tools that make it easy for patients to connect with Piedmont doctors through a safe and secure environment: NextMD and MyChart.
While we are still utilizing NextMD in some of our practices, as Piedmont transitions to Epic, a new electronic medical record and practice management system, our doctors will be moving patients to MyChart.
With MyChart, you can access all of your medical records in one place, plus track and review current health issues, medications, allergies and immunizations. You can also receive preventative care reminders, browse health topics and even email your doctor directly — all from a single, online portal.
With MyChart you can:
Stay in touch with your doctor:
- Send a secure email right to your doctor
- Ask for medication refills
- Find general medical advice for non-urgent questions
- See your discharge instructions or plan for managing your health (exercise, nutrition, treatments)
Manage your appointments:
- Request or cancel* an appointment online
- See your appointment history and upcoming appointments
- Check appointment details like location and which physician you will see
Link to your family records:
- Connect your family's MyChart (and others whose healthcare you manage) to yours to access all appointments, immunization records, growth charts and other health information
Update your personal information and preferences:
- Change your email address, physical address and password. Also, set your notification choices - what kind of messages you receive and how often.
- Other preferences include scheduling, "address me as," religion and caregiver information.
