Rules of the Road
As your health care provider, Medical Center Clinic (MCC) feels strongly that effective and timely two-way communication is critical to quality health care.
MyMCCHealth provides access to personal clinical information which includes but is not limited to your personal care team members, previous and future appointment information, medication lists, plan of care activity, past problem and procedure lists, and historical vital signs.
By using MyMCCHealth, you will also gain access to an additional resource for communications with your health care provider. Use of MyMCCHealth does not limit your options to contact your provider's office by phone or other means.
MyMCCHealth Responsibility
Provider Responsibility
- To review your results and communicate their meaning in a clear and timely manner.
Patient Responsibility
- To use MyMCCHealth only for its intended purpose.
- To understand that time delays may occur between when your personal portal displays critical information and when your physician or physician's staff has an opportunity to communicate that information to you. Please allow your physician's office 3 business days from the date information or results are received to contact you for discussion of this information.
- To not use MyMCCHealth for urgent or emergency situations. In the event of an emergency, you should call emergency medical services or 911, or go directly to the emergency room.
- To understand that it may take up to 3 business days to receive a response to an email message sent through your personal portal. If you do NOT receive a response within 3 business days, you should contact your physician's office by phone during normal business hours.
Rationale
- The medical record has established ranges of expected test results programmed into its logic based on nationally approved, evidence-based research. Any results published outside of the programmed ranges may be described in your portal with terminology such as "ABNORMAL" or may appear in BOLD RED TEXT. These notations should not be taken as literal interpretations of your health. These alerts are simply the way items outside of the nationally based norms are brought to your physician's attention. Your physician will determine the meaning of these results for you individually and will decide if further testing or evaluation is required. You should wait for communication from your physician for any test result interpretation.
- MyMCCHealth should not be used for urgent or emergency situations. In the event of an emergency, you should call emergency medical services or 911, or go directly to the emergency room.
- Please allow your health care provider the appropriate time to review your results and communicate with you. These communications may take place via phone call, letter, through MyMCCHealth or during your next scheduled appointment.
- The results of most labs, basic imaging studies and diagnostic tests are received within days of the test; however, results can potentially take much longer. This timing is necessary for adequate processing of certain test results. Please be aware that it can be weeks before some test results are received. This is typically based on individual test requirements and should be communicated to you by your physician's office. Not all results from tests performed on a single date are received at the same time. Please be assured we are committed to get your results as quickly as possible.
