No one enjoys having to go to the emergency room, and checking in can add to your wait before being seen. Now, if you have an active MyChart account, you could save time by using MyChart’s eCheck-in on your mobile device at the Emergency Room.
How to use MyChart’s Self Check-in:
- Once you arrive, visit the registration desk and a staff member will collect your email and phone number linked to your MyChart.
- You will receive a text or email notification from MyChart prompting you to complete your registration.
- Log in to your MyChart and click the button that says “Self-Registration” on you landing page.
