Any connections you set up with health management apps through your Emory Healthcare patient portals will remain in place through April 2024. However, older portal connections will not receive new data.
To keep those apps updated, you need to connect them to your Emory Healthcare MyChart account instead.
When the old Emory Healthcare patient portals go away for good, their connections to your health apps will also be gone. However, this old data may remain on your mobile device.
For example, if you connect your medical record to the Apple Health app, your device stores the data. If you connect to a health management app with your new Emory Healthcare MyChart account and your previous patient portal, you might have duplicate data.
Protect your data and understand the security of any connections you make to applications outside of Emory Healthcare. When you connect your health record to any outside app, you are responsible for protecting your information. Emory no longer manages the security and use of your patient data. Read all policies in full and ensure you manage your data appropriately.
