Northwestern Medicine

The philosophy behind the DrOwl app is that patients can improve the quality of the medical care they receive by playing a more active role in their healthcare. Regular reviews of one’s personal medical records are crucial in this respect, as these reviews empower patients to ask questions, address concerns, and correct errors within their health record.

Along with the services we provide, DrOwl can also guide patients in accessing their medical information from specific providers, including Northwestern Medicine.

What Is the MyNM Patient Portal and How Does It Work?

Many healthcare systems connect with patients via a digital portal. At Northwestern Medicine, the MyNM patient portal offers features like a symptom checker, access to lab test results, appointment manager, and prescription refill request forms.

Patients of Northwestern Medicine must create an account before they can begin using the MyNM patient portal. To do so, you’ll need an activation code, which is normally supplied by an enrollment letter or after-visit summary. Patients without an activation code must input the following information into a digital form:

  • First and last name
  • Address
  • Date of birth
  • Legal sex
  • Email address
  • Phone number

After this information has been supplied and verified, patients can begin using the MyNM portal.

Why DrOwl Is a Better Option for Accessing Digital Health Information

The DrOwl healthcare app is similar to the MyNM patient portal and other digital methods of accessing patient records. However, our mobile app has one clear advantage: we can compile information from thousands of providers. That means users can access their complete medical record from the convenience of their mobile devices.

That’s not all that DrOwl offers, however, as our app also provides the following features:

  • Clear and succinct summaries of patient records
  • An advanced search engine to quickly find specific information
  • Medication alerts and reminders
  • Physician-curated health resources
  • The ability to chat and message with medical professionals

Users can also rest assured of their privacy, as our medical app was designed with essential HIPAA rules and regulations in mind.
