MyChart Bedside Support
It’s hard to know what’s going on when you’re in the hospital. MyChart Bedside helps by giving you the information you need during your stay.
What Is MyChart Bedside?
MyChart Bedside builds on your regular MyChart account. It’s only available when you’re staying in the hospital for treatment or observation, or when you’re receiving care in the emergency department (ED).
How Do I Get Started?
If you already use MyChart, you’ll get a text inviting you to view your hospital stay when you arrive at the ED or are admitted to the hospital. If you don’t have MyChart, you’ll get a text or email explaining how to sign up. Once you do, you can access your hospital stay details.
There’s nothing extra to download. If you’re already using MyChart, the app recognizes when you’ve been admitted. It switches to the MyChart Bedside view automatically — so you can focus on your care.
What Features Does MyChart Bedside Offer?
To use MyChart Bedside, you’ll need a mobile device with the MyChart app. You can only view My Hospital Stay in the app while you’re in the emergency department or in the hospital. This information isn’t available through a web browser like Chrome or Edge.

Medication, test results and consent
During your stay, you can view medications and test results related to your visit. These options appear at the top of your screen when selected.
The app also lets you view and sign consent forms under the My Documents feature.

Tracking your progress
The Discharge Checklist option highlights milestones related to your stay. It also helps you see what still needs to happen before you leave the hospital. Unlike other features in MyChart Bedside, it won’t appear right away. It only becomes visible once your care team begins adding milestones.
It’s important to understand that provider notes and test results follow a standard release schedule. So, it may take time to see some information.
