MyHealth Share Access (Proxy) for Caregivers
As a Stanford Health Care patient, you can set up Share Access to allow any number of family members or caregivers to also access your medical information via MyHealth. With Share Access, you can easily give permission to others so they can access information that will help them manage care on your behalf, while maintaining your rights to privacy.
Benefits of Share Access
By granting Share Access to a family member or a caregiver, they will be able to help:
- Request appointments on your behalf
- Send non-urgent, secure messages to your clinician's office
- Learn more about your upcoming and completed tests or procedures
- Review the medical education recommended for you by your care team
