This information explains your Goals to Discharge checklist. It also explains how to use it on your smartphone or tablet.
What is the Goals to Discharge checklist?
When your surgery is over, you’ll focus on getting well enough to leave the hospital. We’ll send a Goals to Discharge checklist to your MSK MyChart account to help you track how you’re doing. You can use this electronic checklist to see the goals you need to meet before leaving the hospital. You can also update your progress throughout the day. Your updates will send alerts to your surgical team about your progress.
How do I use it?
You must be signed up for MSK MyChart, MSK’s patient portal. You can access MSK MyChart at MSKMyChart.mskcc.org or by downloading the MSK MyChart app.
- If you are not enrolled in MSK MyChart, ask your care team to send you an invitation. You can also go to MSK MyChart and select “Sign up now.”
- If you aren’t sure if you signed up for MSK MyChart or don’t remember how to use it, ask a member of your care team.
The morning after your surgery, you’ll get an email telling you that you have a new assessment to fill out.
