MyChart Bedside
Stay connected to your child’s care.
Children's Health℠ offers patients a new way to stay connected to their care team and quickly access important information about their hospital stay using MyChart Bedside.
What is MyChart Bedside?
During a hospital stay, MyChart Bedside lets you quickly access important health information, attend video appointments, schedule meals and more. If you already have a Children’s Health MyChart account, you can access MyChart Bedside from the Children’s Health app or the MyChart app.
If you do not have a Children’s Health MyChart account, you can borrow a hospital tablet, free of charge, that includes the MyChart Bedside app. The Children’s Health tablet must stay in the patient’s room and will not work outside the hospital. When the patient goes home all information on the tablet is erased.
