Sharing Your Blood Pressure Reading in Erie MyChart
When your provider assigns it to you, you can share your home blood pressure readings with your Erie Care Team. This helps track your health over time. The steps are the same using a smart phone, tablet or computer, in the MyChart App or in a web browser. It will just look a little different.
In the MyChart App, log in to your Erie MyChart account.
- Scroll down in your home screen feed and find VIEW TASKS. Then click on VIEW TASKS. (If you don't see the prompt in your home screen feed, search in the menu for TO DO.)
- In your TO DO, click on “Check and record your blood pressure and heart rate.” (This task will be visible after a provider assigns it to you.)
- Enter your Pulse, Blood Pressure and Weight.
- Press DONE.
- Then press the BACK (<) Icon at the bottom of the screen.
- A Pop-Up will ask you if you want to save your changes. Click SAVE. (If your readings are outside of normal ranges, call your provider to talk about the results.)
- Click CONTINUE SAVING. You can now log out of the App.
If you need help with MyChart please ask to talk to an Erie care coordinator. Make an appointment with your provider to review your home blood pressure readings.
You might need access to a child or parent's health record. This is called proxy access. You would use this to help manage the health of your child from 0-11 years old, or of an adult when you are in charge of managing their health.
At Erie, 12 - 17 year olds have their own Erie MyChart accounts. We encourage adolescents to have increased ownership of their health information as a part of preparing for the transition of fully managing their own care in adulthood. Click here to learn more about adolescent care at Erie.
