The Department of Health and Community Services is encouraging people 16 years of age and older to register for access to their personal health record through MyGovNL.
The personal health record is an online service that allows residents to view their health information, enabling Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to be more involved and knowledgeable about their health. It provides access to laboratory results, dispensed medications, radiology reports, and allergies.
Residents must register for Personal Health Record on MyGovNL to access their health information. For enhanced security, registrants will receive a personal identification number via regular mail within two weeks to complete the registration process. This activation code is required for the first time you log in to your personal health record.
You will need to have a government-issued photo identification card and your MCP connected through MyGovNL as well as an email address.
To register for the personal health record:
- Log in to MyGovNL.
- Click Personal Health Information.
- Submit the registration form.
- Enter the personal identification number when you receive it in the mail.
Currently, there are over 23,000 people with access to their Personal Health Record through MyGovNL.
