Patients have occasionally shown up in an ED to ask about the results of their recent chest X-ray or other type of imaging test done in the community. As part of the change, the results for diagnostic imaging tests will be uploaded directly to a patient's MyHealth Records account following release from the test provider. AHS says the change is being made to provide better access to health information and as an additional safety net for patient care within the system. In 2019, Alberta Health began sharing a patient's lab results through the online portal and this is the next step.
