Keep up-to-date records of all the medical care you get for cancer and other conditions. Future decisions about your care may depend on your past treatments. Notes from your clinic visits should be sent to your primary care provider (family doctor or nurse practitioner). Check with your cancer care team to ensure that this happens. If you move or go to several different doctors, you are the only one who will have your complete health history.

Share your health records on myUHN Patient Portal

Share Everywhere is a way for you to share your health records with a community health care provider who does not have direct access to your records. Using your myUHN account, you can create a temporary share code and give it to the provider you want to share your records with. The code allows the recipient one-time, limited access (until the provider logs out) to your health information.

To grant Share Everywhere access from the portal:

  1. Go to Your Menu → scroll to Sharing → click Share Everywhere.
  2. Enter the name of the person who will recei​ve temporary access to your health records and click Request share code.
  3. Give the generated share code to the provider and ask them to go to www.shareeverywhere.com to enter the code and your date of birth

The code must be used within 60 minutes of requesting it. To learn more, go to Share Everywhere FAQ.

Keep Your Primary Care Provider Up-to-Date

Make sure you keep your primary care provider up-to-date on:

  • Any medicines that you are taking now. This includes over-the-counter medicines such as pain killers, laxatives (medicine to help you poo), as well as nutritional supplements, vitamins and herbals.
  • When your next check-up test is due (for example: a mammogram, PSA test, Pap test).
  • Which specialists you are still seeing.
  • Any fears or concerns you have.
  • Any lifestyle changes you have made (for example: quitting smoking, changing your diet, changing how you exercise).
  • How you feel. Do you have any symptoms or changes that are worrying you?​
