| Healthcare power of attorney now available online |
| Date : - 15/04/2009 |
|
In conjunction with National Healthcare Decisions Day April 16, Gundersen Lutheran patients are now able to access, through MyCare, their own power of attorney for healthcare documents in their medical record. This new feature of MyCare will allow patients to:
* Determine if their power of attorney for healthcare
has been scanned into their medical record
* Read any such document to determine if it is still
up-to-date
* Download their document as a pdf file so they have
an electronic copy for their own files or to share
as an attachment with other persons
* Find answers to frequently asked questions about
advance care planning
* Read and download the Making Choices® information
booklet and planning guide
* Download a blank power of attorney for healthcare
form
* See contact information if they need assistance
with advance care planning
MyCare is an online tool for patients to view their own medical records, schedule appointments and communicate with their provider. “The new MyCare feature should help patients make sure their healthcare power of attorney is in their chart, kept current, and if they wish, have the ability to share with family ,” says Bud Hammes, PhD Gundersen Lutheran
