A big part of being empowered with your health care is owning your lab results. I always recommend my patients keep a folder with all their lab results. It’s empowering when you have the opportunity to ask for second opinions or simply have the data to understand what the results mean. Putting things in perspective is important.
In BC, My Care Compass (previously called Myehealth.ca) is a Lifelab website that allows you, once registered, to receive your own lab results.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to share your secure lab results. The contact information is relevant to our office but if you are the patient of someone else the initial steps will help you get it to whomever you choose to share.
#1 (If needed) Create an account with MyCareCompass by Lifelabs
Create a my compass care account (previously myehealth). This is a one-time step. If you have never created this account in the past the NEXT time you go to lifelabs for bloodwork ask for a code in order to register. This is required to initiate your account. From this day on you will automatically receive your lab results in your account. This will not retroactively bring in your past bloodwork results. If you can’t remember if you have created this in the past try to reset your password.
