As a result of this partnership, the organizations will now provide patients with access to a convenient patient portal, MyChart. This change may require some patients who do not already have a Gundersen MyChart account to create a new account.

Does this partnership affect my insurance coverage for services received at Crossing Rivers Health?

No. This does not result in any changes to insurance coverage for services provided at Crossing Rivers Health. This is simply a partnership that allows Crossing Rivers Health to have access to the Epic patient health record software.

Is Crossing Rivers Health an affiliate of or being acquired by Gundersen Health System?

No. This is simply a partnership that allows Crossing Rivers Health to have access to the Epic patient health record software. Crossing Rivers Health is contracting with Gundersen Health System for use of their Epic electronic health record platform. This partnership also does not result in any changes to insurance coverage for Crossing Rivers Health services.

What is an Electronic Health Record?

  • An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is an electronic version of a patient’s medical history that is maintained by the provider over time.
  • An EHR may include all of the key clinical data relevant to that person’s care, including health history, medications, immunizations, laboratory data and radiology reports.
  • An EHR allows the ability to easily and securely share medical information between healthcare facilities for improved patient-centered care.

Who should use MyChart?

  • Anyone interested in a proactive approach to their health management.
  • New parents and parents of young children.
  • Patients with chronic conditions
  • Seniors wanting help with their health management.
  • Patients looking for easy access to their healthcare provider.

Does Gundersen have this partnership with anyone else?

Yes. Crossing Rivers Health is the third local Hospital to connect with Gundersen this way. Tomah Health in Tomah, and Vernon Memorial Healthcare in Viroqua, WI are the other two.

What are the benefits for patients? For doctors and clinical staff?

This will allow patients to view their records, schedule appointments, and much more anytime, anywhere. For clinicians and staff at Gundersen and Crossing Rivers Health, the partnership reduces duplication. They will no longer have to work in two different medical records systems. This improves patient care and makes care processes more efficient.

Who can access my health information?

Only you and individuals you personally authorize, through the family access option, can obtain your health information.

How can I access records for my family members?

MyChart helps you better manage your family’s health care and securely access medical records through proxy access. Proxy access allows you to sign in to your own MyChart account and link to another patient's MyChart record.

  • Full access to your child’s records (through age 11)
    • Parents must sign the Child Proxy form to allow access to the record of their minor child.
  • Partial access to child’s records (age 12-17)
    • Parents must sign the Child Proxy form to allow access to the record of their minor child.
  • Adult-to-adult access (with both adults’ consent).

If interested in proxy access, you may also ask to sign up at your provider’s office.

What if I need a copy of my health record and don't have a MyChart account?

If you do not have a MyChart account but would like to receive a summary of your Crossing Rivers Health Electronic Health Record or pay your bill, please contact a patient accounts representative, available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 608.357.2246 or email MyChart@crossingrivers.org.
