Although the COVID-19 pandemic may have accelerated adoption rates and forced patients to connect to their health care resources remotely, it also showed us how technology can transform care.
To support better outcomes for more patients – even without in-person visits – Ohio State offers these remote options:
MyChart
Registered users can login to this secure patient portal 24/7 to communicate with their Ohio State health providers, review medical records, check lab and test results or schedule appointments.
Telehealth
This technology has been useful for reducing missed appointments among our Medicaid population and prompting earlier care for mental health and addiction. To ensure patient access to this important technology, we’ve collaborated with SmartColumbus, to provide free, in-home Wi-Fi to many residents in neighborhoods with limited internet access.
