When you log in to Mass General Brigham Patient Gateway, we use the existing connections to determine where you have been seen. We can then suggest you connect to these organizations to see a complete view of your health record in this Mass General Brigham Patient Gateway account.

Why doesn't the organization I want to link to show up in the search results?

Different organizations enable linking at different times. You can see the list of organizations on our network at www.epic.com/happytogether. Note that some organizations allow anyone who has an account to link to them, but others require that your provider exchange your medical record with them first.

What happens after I link my account to another healthcare organization?

When you see this icon , the information is coming from an outside organization. Tap the symbol on a mobile device or hover over the symbol on a desktop to see where the information is coming from.

Sometimes, a reverse link from the other healthcare organization to your Mass General Brigham Patient Gateway account is also created, depending on this organization's and the other organization's settings.

Can I access this information on both the mobile app and the website?

Yes. All features are available on both the mobile app and the website.

Can I stop seeing information from an organization I’ve linked?

You can unlink an organization in the Link My Accounts activity. This stops information from that organization from showing in this Mass General Brigham Patient Gateway account. Any organizations that you choose to unlink will remain available in the Link My Accounts activity.

What happens to my data when I unlink an organization?

If you unlink an organization, we remove all of that organization's data from Mass General Brigham Patient Gateway. Depending on this organization and the other organization's settings, your care team might still be able to access the external data to help provide you with medical care. If you don't want your care team at this organization to be able to access the external data, please contact the other organization directly.

I can see other people’s information (e.g. my child) at a different organization. When my accounts are linked, can I also see that information here?

If you can see another person’s information at a different organization, you might also be able to view their information when linking an account. What you can see and do in Mass General Brigham Patient Gateway depends on what the other healthcare organization allows you to do in your account with them and whether the linked organization is using Epic applications. You must have an account here and at the other healthcare organization, with access to the same patient’s information in both, to see both sets of information for that patient in this Mass General Brigham Patient Gateway account.

How is my information protected?

We carefully protect the privacy and security of your information using different physical, administrative, and technical controls. When your information is shared, your record is encrypted and delivered in a secure, electronic format. Only healthcare professionals who are involved in your care can see your information at the healthcare organization.
