Request Medical Records

At OSF HealthCare, we take your private health information very seriously and take every precaution to keep you and your loved one’s health information safe.

Whether you are requesting your own records or on behalf of a third party, our online tools make the process quick and easy.

Your Electronic Record

OSF MyChart offers 24/7, secure access to your electronic medical record. This includes hospital or outpatient visits, telephone conversations and other personal health information. With OSF MyChart, you can view your medical history, test results, clinical notes and more.

You can also view your health information from other organizations by linking to an existing MyChart account.

Want to ensure that a trusted friend or family member can view your medical record? OSF MyChart can help with that, too! You may grant or revoke proxy access at any time, plus you can even share your information with employers or providers in other health systems.

Note: Individuals with proxy access will be able to view the same personal health information that you are able to access within your own individual account. Because your medical record contains information that may be sensitive in nature, we recommend that you periodically review who has access to your account.

Learn about these features and more through our OSF MyChart education hub. Here, you’ll find helpful tips including how-to guides and videos. Sign up for your account today!
