About OSF MyChart

OSF MyChart is a secure, online patient portal provided by OSF HealthCare that allows patients to manage their health information and interact with their healthcare providers from any device with internet access.

Through OSF MyChart, patients can view test results, schedule appointments, request prescription refills, send secure messages to their doctors, and pay medical bills, among other features. It is part of the broader movement towards digital health tools aimed at empowering patients and improving the efficiency of healthcare delivery.

History of OSF MyChart

OSF MyChart is part of a long-standing initiative by OSF HealthCare, a major healthcare system based in central and northern Illinois. OSF HealthCare recognized the increasing importance of providing patients with easy access to their medical records and healthcare management tools, which led to the development of the MyChart system.

  • Early Adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHR): OSF HealthCare began integrating Electronic Health Records (EHR) into its clinical systems as early as the 2000s. This shift to digital records paved the way for patient portals like MyChart, which rely on EHR systems to securely store and share patient information.
  • Partnership with Epic Systems: OSF HealthCare implemented the Epic Systems platform for its EHR system, which is one of the largest providers of health record software in the United States. Epic MyChart is a patient portal linked to Epic’s electronic health records, and OSF MyChart is the localized version of that system tailored for OSF patients.
  • Expansion of Digital Health Tools: In the years following its adoption, OSF MyChart expanded its capabilities, offering more features like mobile app access, secure messaging, and appointment scheduling, all aimed at making healthcare more convenient for patients. This digital tool aligns with broader trends in the healthcare industry to improve patient engagement and streamline the management of care.
  • Integration with OSF HealthCare Services: Over time, OSF MyChart has integrated various aspects of OSF HealthCare services, such as lab results, medical records, and scheduling, creating a comprehensive platform that connects patients with their care teams.

Today, OSF MyChart is an essential part of OSF HealthCare’s patient experience, helping to enhance communication, improve access to care, and empower patients to take an active role in managing their health. The app is widely used for accessing health records, managing appointments, paying bills, and tracking health metrics, offering patients a more connected and efficient healthcare experience.

Values

We, The Sisters of The Third Order of St. Francis believe: That led by the Spirit of the Gospels and the example of St. Francis, the special purpose of our existence as a corporation is to provide for the total well being of those we serve.

That every person, created in the image of God and composed of body and soul, is a human being endowed with intellect and free will, completely dependent upon God for existence and destined to possess God in heavenly beatitude. Because of the dignity of the human person and his moral conscience, each person has certain God-given rights with corresponding obligations toward his Creator, his fellow man and himself.

From this philosophy flow these values which permeate all of our endeavors:

  • JUSTICE: Personal worth and dignity of every person we serve regardless of race, color, religion and ability to pay
  • COMPASSION: Caring response to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the people we serve
  • INTEGRITY: Decision-making based on Catholic ethical principles and Catholic social teachings in every activity of the system
  • TEAMWORK: Collaboration with each other, with physicians, and with other providers to deliver comprehensive, integrated and quality health care
  • EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING: Concern for the physical, spiritual, emotional and economical well-being of employees
  • SUPPORTIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT: Quality work environments which focus on comprehensive, integrated quality service and opportunities for employee growth
  • TRUST: Open and honest communication to foster trust relationships among ourselves and with those we serve
  • STEWARDSHIP: Responsible stewardship of the financial, human and technological resources of the system
  • LEADERSHIP: Leadership in the health field and in the communities we serve.
