WINDSOR, CO December 20, 2020 — Self Care Decisions announces its Symptom Checker is now within MyChart Mobile. You can request the integration through the Epic Showroom. Having the symptom checker within MyChart directs patient flow to virtual visits, scheduling options and the right locations supported by your organization.
“By adding our symptom checker to MyChart Mobile, we further our mission of supporting patient self-service. It supports healthcare decisions and connects them to the right, cost-effective care,” said Self Care Decisions’ CEO Sue Riffel. “Hundreds of health systems use our symptom checker on their websites and within their engagement apps. Placement within MyChart Mobile connects patients directly to the organization’s services, physicians and facilities.”
About Self Care Decisions
We license Self Care Decisions’ content to hospitals, health plans and physician practices. It supports their patients’ healthcare decisions and builds self-care skills through its step-by-step care advice. The content is derived from the Barton Schmitt, MD telephone triage protocols used by 95% of the nurse advice help lines across North America.
Our implementation allows health systems to quickly map the symptom endpoints to their assets: physician finders, scheduling, facilities and telehealth services. The symptom checker engages patients at the first step of their healthcare journey: the symptom.
