COVID-19 Home Monitoring Program

After a COVID-19 diagnosis, you may be referred to our Acute Respiratory Clinic (ARC) for further care.  Based upon your initial assessment at the ARC clinic, your care team may enroll you in a care plan to help you manage your COVID-19 diagnosis from home.  You can follow this care plan using MyChart, an interactive, personalized plan of care delivered through Mackenzie Health’s free mobile app.  You’ll receive real-time notifications and reminders to track your health at home.

Please note that this is a remote monitoring program for individuals with mild COVID-19 symptoms that can be managed at home.  Your home monitoring readings entered into MyChart are not actively monitored by your care team and will be reviewed at your next visit with the clinic.  If your symptoms worsen and you feel unwell, please visit your nearest emergency department or call 911.  Otherwise, please refer to our COVID-19 Home Monitoring – MyChart Care Plan How To Guide  for additional points of contact.

MyChart is Mackenzie Health’s free online patient portal that allows you to access your health information at Mackenzie Health securely from your personal device.  In addition to tracking your health at home as part of the COVID-19 Home Monitoring Care Plan, you can log on to any device, from anywhere at any time to stay on top of your health information, including test results, past and future appointments, visit summaries and more.

For any questions about your COVID-19 Home Monitoring Care Plan, including how to track your health, managing your pulse oximeter readings, contact information and more, please review our tip sheet:

How long does a Urgent Care Clinic visit take?

What do I do when I arrive at the hospital?

You may park in the visitors parking lot, just north of the hospital and enter through the D-wing entrance near the emergency department. Click here for more information about parking services.

During peak hours, parking can take longer than expected. Please allow yourself extra time to accommodate this. Alternate options are to take public transit, or to be dropped off by a family member or friend.
