Can you see your results on a patient portal?
Yes. Only you (and those you have permitted access to your patient portal, known as a Proxy) will be able to see your results.
Can you get your test results through portal?
Because most all your visit notes, including progress notes, discharge summaries, procedure notes and other clinical documentation as well as most testing results will now be available through you portal. Testing results will be released to you promptly once they are finalized, therefore you may receive notification of your results before a provider has had a chance to review them.
Can you request corrections to your medical chart?
Electronically request corrections and/or additions to portions of your chart. For example, you can make changes to your medication list, which your doctor will then review and accept into your official medical record at your next visit.
Can you see your test results before you contact your health care team?
Because this is a new way of sharing information, you may see test results before your health care team has had the chance to review the result and contact you. Additionally, you’re going to be getting these results as soon as they are final when your care team may not be immediately available for questions.

This includes educational materials, information on your current medications, allergies, immunizations, health issues, and lab test results. All information is pulled directly from your electronic health records. Due to the sensitive nature of radiology and pathology test results, these are not available on the patient portal and must be obtained through the hospital’s Health Information Department.
Is RWJBarnabas Health a centralized portal?
RWJBarnabas Health is in the process transitioning all of our hospitals to a centralized patient portal called MyChart where all hospitals’ records will eventually be contained within one system for your convenience. Please be assured that you will always have access to your medical records.
