If you have a scheduled video visit, you must complete E-Check-in before you can begin the visit.

The following hardware is required:

• A desktop, laptop computer or mobile device with the MyChart mobile app and video capability (such as iPhone or Android smartphones)
• A web camera (external or integrated)
• Speakers or headphones (external or integrated)
• A microphone (usually part of the web camera)
• High-speed internet connection

The following software is required:

• A web browser. We recommend Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome on personal computers. You may experience issues using other browsers or Apple products with the Mac operating system. The system will perform a hardware check during E-Check-in before the visit begins.
• If you are on a mobile device, you will need the most current version of the MyChart mobile app.
• If you are on a desktop or laptop computer, you may be prompted to install additional software.

For e-visits with your personal physician, the doctor will respond within 1–2 business days. For urgent care e-visits, you will receive a response within 4 hours, but only Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

No, your activation code is not your username or password. You will use this code only once to activate your MyChart for the first time. After this initial login, you will then be asked to create your own unique MyChart username and password.

Please call our MyChart Support line at 503-562-4278 for assistance with activating your MyChart account.

While logged into MyChart, if your session remains idle for 20 minutes or more, you will be automatically logged out. To protect your privacy and security, we recommend that you log out of your MyChart session if you need to leave your computer for even a short period of time.

Salem Health Hospitals and Clinics is committed to preserving the privacy of patient health information. You may review the Salem Health Hospitals and Clinics Joint Notice of Privacy here.

Under Oregon State and Federal Law, there are certain types of medical information that the parent or guardian of a minor patient may not view without consent of the minor patient. Due to these requirements, we offer limited information to proxies of minor patients in this age category.

No. Due to the sensitive nature of medical information, each adult must establish their own MyChart account. You may sign and submit a proxy access consent form to view another person's health information (see Can I view a family member's health record in MyChart?).

Yes. If you have proxy access to a family member or loved one's MyChart account, you can message their provider through their MyChart account. Messages sent through MyChart are attached to the health record of the person whose account the message was sent from. Having the messages attached to the wrong record could cause confusion when you or your family member seeks care.

Minors of any age are allowed to access birth control-related information and services, as well as testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections including HIV, without parental consent (ORS 109.610 and ORS 109.640). We err on the side of caution and have restricted sexual and reproductive health (e.g. Birth Control) information at age 12.

Yes. This is called proxy access. Proxy access allows you to log into your personal MyChart account to manage a family member or loved one's health information. If you are age 18 or older, you may request proxy access to another individual's MyChart account by completing the appropriate proxy access consent form and submitting it to your provider’s office or any Salem Health registration desk. MyChart terms and conditions provide more details, including legal restrictions.

Test results are generally released to your MyChart account between one and seven days after the results are finalized. To view test results, select Test Results at the top of the screen.

You will generally receive an answer within three business days. Please note that MyChart messaging should not be used for urgent situations. If your condition is an emergency, dial 911 or visit the closest emergency room.

The information in your MyChart account comes directly from your electronic health record. Contact your health care provider to request any corrections to your information.

Certain test results of a sensitive nature are not released online, and some test results are completed at external companies and are therefore not accessible in MyChart.
