E-Check In with MyChart

eCheck-In is available to patients with a MyChart account and combines online pre-registration and check-in to get you to your appointment faster for outpatient clinics at Mackenzie Health.

MyChart will send an automated notification two (2) days prior to the appointment date to remind you of your appointment and to eCheck-in.  Through eCheck-in you can confirm and update registration information (address, phone number, emergency contact, family physician, health card version code/expiry date) and complete any associated pre-visit questionnaires.  eCheck-In can be completed up to the time of your appointment.

Once you have completed eCheck-In, you will be provided a barcode that you can print out or pull up on your mobile device and scan at the Self-Serve Patient Registration Kiosk when you arrive for your appointment.

Upon arrival on the day of an appointment, patients* check in by visiting Patient Registration, located on the second floor of C-Wing, or designated Registration Area. Patients who have completed eCheck-In can scan their barcode resulting in fewer questions to answer or information to complete, getting them to their appointment faster.

*For patients scheduled in our Chronic Kidney Disease clinics, please check in at the front desk upon arrival.  For patients scheduled in our Mental Health clinics, please check in using the kiosks located within the clinics.
