Mychart Lee Health Fort Myers

As we provide healthcare, we must keep records of patient’s medical history, current conditions, treatment plan and all treatments given, including the results of all tests, procedures and therapies. Messages you send via LMHS MyChart may be made part of the permanent medical record at the discretion of LMHS, the doctor, or support staff. Once it is made part of the record, it will be accessible to current and future staff members of LMHS who are appropriately involved with a patient’s care. All electronic medical record content generated by LMHS is subject to state and federal laws governing the security and confidentiality of medical records.

An Authorized User refers to individuals who have a legal right to Protected Health Information or who you have authorized access to your LMHS MyChart account. LMHS allows Authorized Users to access the LMHS MyChart account of an individual other than him or herself. LMHS reserves the right to revoke an Authorized Users access at any time for any reason. You may obtain Authorized User access to the LMHS MyChart records of your minor child under the age of 12 by completing the appropriate Request for Parental Access based on the age of the minor. Parental Authorized User access to a minor’s LMHS MyChart will be granted to persons with parental rights, legal guardianship, or durable power of attorney for health care over the minor, if the requestor of access demonstrates the legal right to this information and it is supported by appropriate documentation. When the minor reaches the age of 18, or obtains a court order giving him / her the rights of an adult, all parental Authorized User access will be discontinued or denied. At that point, the patient is an adult and may request access to his / her own LMHS MyChart account. When an adult patient has the ability to make and understand his / her own medical decisions, he / she may grant an Authorized User access to his / her LMHS MyChart account. The adult or minor patient may revoke proxy access to MyChart by using the Proxy Account Management feature within MyChart. When an adult patient does not have the ability to make and understand his / her medical decisions, another adult may obtain access by signing and submitting the Authorization for Access to Patient LMHS MyChart Account and demonstrating appropriate legal authority such as guardianship, durable power of attorney for healthcare, or status as healthcare surrogate. If this legal relationship changes, the Authorized User must immediately notify LMHS and access to LMHS MyChart may be revoked.
