When Instant Activation/Experian does not locate the patient “Unable to Verify Your Idenity”
“Your MyChart account could not be activated because the answers you provided did not match the credit bureau data, we use to verify your identity. The use of credit bureau information is an added layer of protection for you that is intended to avoid someone accessing your confidential information through the MyChart system. By design was (at Franciscan or Specialty Physician of IL, LLC or Health Connect partner) do not have the ability to verify your identity over the telephone or provide the appropriate answers promoted during this validation process. The process we have established to maintain your confidentiality is for you to go to your provider’s office to obtain an activation code so they can verify your identity through a photo ID or recognition of you from previous visits. You will not need an appointment for this; simply present to the front desk. Also, please note that a credit freeze on your account will prevent you from using this process to obtain an activation code.”
If the medical information is incorrect in MyChart but does not indicate that the information belongs to someone else.
Examples:

Parent calling because they only see basic information for a Teen Account:
“We apologize for the inconvenience. To ensure proper protections are in place for access to an adolescent's medical information, you and your adolescent child will just need to fill out proxy forms for full access. These forms are available at your provider office or the medical records department in one of our hospitals. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?”
Deactivation by Franciscan for Privacy Issues:

If we see notes indicating that a chart has been locked by staff at Franciscan Alliance, please follow the below:
All notes on a patient's chart are CONFIDENTIAL. We are not to provide any details or contact numbers from notes on a patient's chart, even on the MyChart Admin page.
Read the following script-
“I’m so sorry MyChart is not performing as expected. It appears we are in the process of reviewing your medical record and your MyChart account is temporarily unavailable. If you need access to your MyChart account for medication refill, appointment, or results, please contact your care provider’s office by phone. When this review is complete, you should be able to log in again in the same manner as you were able to previously.

(Consider that you would offer to assist with phone numbers for the care provider’s office if caller does not have these.)
If the patient also wants to talk to someone about what is going on with their MyChart account: Read the following script-
“I can provide you an email address where you can send additional questions or express any concerns you have. (isercsupport@franciscanalliance.org)”
7. Inappropriate Access to Medical Information (NOT Overlay)
The caller states that a person or staff member may be accessing their medical information without permission. This is not an overlay situation (I.e., they cannot see another person's PHI (Patient Health Information)) but will still need to be escalated.
Collect the patient’s information and advise that this will be referred to the Franciscan Privacy Officer. Escalate the ticket, notating in the subject “Inappropriate EHR Access”
Do NOT collect additional details such as who they suspect or how they suspect it occurred – the Privacy office will gather those details.
If the patient mentions that they believe their MyChart password/username is compromised, you should offer to perform a password reset or update username once patient is verified.
There is NO OFFICAL SCRIPT, however the interaction should be brief. We should verify the patient, collect their concern, and quickly escalate the issue. “Thank you for reaching out to us today with your concern, we will provide this information to a privacy officer to review” Any follow-up questions should be directed back to the Privacy Officer who contacts them.
