We have upgraded to the OCHIN Epic Electronic Health Record and a single patient portal – MyChart – that will allow for better communication and improved quality of care across the Gritman System.
We will continue to store all existing and historical medical records in a safe and secure manner in accordance with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) guidelines. You will continue to have the ability to request copies of your historical medical records through our Health Information Management Department.
All Medical Records produced on or after June 24, 2024, are available through MyChart.

Having a medical advanced directive on file is the best way to make sure your health care wishes are followed. It allows you to provide instructions on who can make medical decisions for you in the event you are unable to make them yourself. An advanced directive also allows you to determine the type and amount of care you wish to receive. Download the Idaho Health Care Directive Registry form or the Living Will and Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care form to make sure your document is recorded. Fivewishes.org is a good resource to use as you consider documenting your wishes and health care preferences.
If you or someone you help care for has been diagnosed with advanced illness or frailty, you should consider completing a POST (Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment) form in addition to an advance directive. Your doctor can help guide you through the process of completing an Idaho POST (an Idaho POST must be signed by a physician to be valid).
