EpicCare MyLink

EpicCare MyLink is the community physician portal for UF Health. This portal provides real-time web access to patient information, so physicians who practice at locations outside of UF Health Jacksonville can access patients' clinical data. This streamlines and speeds up the ability to remain up to date on changes to patients’ medical record.

Features

Using EpicCare MyLink, you will be able to access and search the patient's chart, including:

• Inpatient admissions or discharges
• Completion of outpatient visits
• Lab results
• Demographics
• Allergies
• Medications
• Problem List
• Medical and Surgical History

Benefits

• Place orders and appointment requests to UF Health
• Monitor appointment requests
• Receive notification of key patient events

Begin Your Access Request

• Download a Practice Agreement
• The person in your office responsible for maintaining and overseeing MyLink Accounts should sign the Practice Agreement
• Download instructions on how to sign up for and take the MyTraining courses, then have each user complete the MyTraining course online
• Have all users download and sign an individual User Security and Confidentiality Agreement
• The Practice Agreement signee must also co-sign all User Security and Confidentiality Agreements

Once all components are back and verified, UF Health IT Access Management will provide an assigned username and password to each individual who filled out a User Security and Confidentiality Agreement. Please note: Only those users who filled out the security and confidentiality agreement will be issued usernames and passwords. Usernames and passwords cannot be shared among employees. Users' access privileges will be reviewed through periodic audits to ensure they are maintaining compliance, privacy, and following security agreements.
