There is a service that is based on the internet that allows the patients to view portions of their electronic medical record or EMR where Sparrow documents your health information. The name of the service is MySparrow. This one is offered by Sparrow.
If you want to use this service, you will have to sign up first. There are a total of two ways to sign up to Sparrow Mychart, as follows:
Method 1: For those who have received an activation code
If you are a patient who has recently visited a Sparrow facility, you can use the MySparrow activation code that was provided on your after visit summary. This kind of activation code is the one that will enable you to log in. Apart from that, it is also the one that will allow you to create your own username and password. In case you did not get an activation code but you really have visited a Sparrow facility recently, you are encouraged to reach out to the clinic in order to ask them to send one through email to you.
What if your activation code does not work? What should you do if this kind of case happens to you? Apparently, the activation code has an expired date for security reasons. The code will expire after 60 days. If an activation code is expired after the first time you use it, it means it is no longer valid. If your activation code has expired, the best thing that you can do is to submit an online request at https://mychart.sparrow.org/MyChart/signup. Before submitting an online request, make sure that you are the age of 18. If not, then you are not allowed to do that. In case you still get the same issues, you are suggested to reach out to the Sparrow Help Desk at 517 364 4357.
Method 2: For those who have not received an activation code
If you are a patient who has not been seen at a Sparrow facility recently and you are 18 years old or older, you can follow the following guide:
-
- The first thing that you need to do is to open your internet browser.
- When it opens, go to https://mychart.sparrow.org.
- When you are on the site, you will have to find the Sign Up Now button. In case you have no idea where it is located, it is on the right side of the screen.
- Upon finding the Sign Up Now button, please click on it.
- Another thing that you have to click is the Sign Up Online button. As for this one, it is located on the right side of the screen.
- After clicking on the Sign Up Online button, the next thing that you should do is to fill out every required field shown on the screen.
- Do not forget to also complete the CAPTCHA.
- When it is done, please click Submit.
- Then, create a MySparrow username. It is worth noting that username has to be at least 5 characters long. However, you should not make it more than 20 characters. Please think about your username well as there is no way for you to change it. The best username is the one that is secure and easy to remember. Another thing to keep in mind is that your username is not case sensitive.
- After creating a username, you will have to create a MySparrow password. Take note that the password should be different than your MySparrow username. It has to be at least 6 characters long. However, having more than 20 characters is not allowed. The password should consist of a minimum of one letter and a minimum of one number. Unlike your MySparrow username, your MySparrow password is case sensitive. Another thing that makes it different compared to the username is the fact that it is able to be changed.
- When creating a password is also done, choose the Next button.
- Lastly, enter your email address. When there is new information in your MySparrow account, you will get an email that notifies you about it from donotreply@sparrow.org. To prevent the notification emails from getting marked as junk mail, you are suggested to add this email to your address book or safe sender list.
After signing up to Sparrow Mychart, you can log in to do a lot of things such as:
-
- Reviewing the likes of your medications, immunizations, allergies, and medical history.
- Getting the test results online and there will be no need for you to wait for a phone call or letter.
- Getting in touch with your physician, just like sending an email.
