Connect Care is changing the way Alberta Health Services (AHS) provides healthcare.
Right now, AHS and its partners store health information in hundreds of different systems across the province. This means healthcare providers may only have access to part of your health history. It’s the reason you are sometimes asked to repeat your story again and again.
Connect Care is a provincewide initiative that will change how patient information flows between patients and their healthcare providers. With Connect Care, your AHS and partner health records will be accessible from any AHS and partner location in the province. Your information will move with you through your care journey, giving your AHS and partner care teams a more complete picture of your health history, as well as consistent clinical information and best practices.
MyAHS Connect is a secure, online, interactive tool, provided by Alberta Health Services that gives you access to your Connect Care health information. The health information viewable in MyAHS Connect is a reflection of the Connect Care record that your healthcare team uses. Any contributions that you make to your MyAHS Connect account is viewable by your healthcare team and vice versa.

You can access your MyAHS Connect account if you have an Alberta.ca account, by using MyHealth Records and your Alberta.ca verified account. When you login to MyHealth Records, you will see two tools: My Personal Records and MyAHS Connect, If you don't have an Alberta.ca account, you can sign up for one here.

MyAHS Connect is available to patients who are age 14 or over, and who have an Alberta.ca account. It is also possible to apply for access to health information about another person, typically a young child or family member. This is done through a process called proxy access.
