MyGOSH Bedside is an inpatient portal that helps you and your caregiver see real-time updates about your care during your hospital stay.

Home Page

After logging in, you’ll see your homepage with your latest vital signs (like blood pressure), the date, your planned discharge (if available), and an overview of your medications and reason for your hospital stay.

Schedule

The Schedule feature shows what’s happening during your hospital stay, including past and upcoming events like appointments, surgeries, and medications.

Care Team

The care teams feature allows you to see who is caring for you during your inpatient hospital stay. By clicking on ‘About Me’ you can find out more about the different clinical roles at GOSH and how they can help you during your inpatient hospital stay. Toggling ‘show inactive members’ shows which members of staff have cared for you on previous shifts.

Meet Our Staff

Our “Meet the Staff” feature introduces the different roles at GOSH and shows how each member of your care team will support you during your hospital stay.

Video visits

If a staff member schedules a video visit, you'll receive a notification. Tap video visits in the MyGOSH bedside portal to join.

Questionnaires

The questionnaires feature allows you to respond to questionnaire about your care and inpatient hospital stay. For example, the questionnaire called fingerprints and the family form helps staff know more about you and your likes and dislikes. Your care team can view the answers inside your online medical record. There is also a questionnaire about your experience of MyGOSH Bedside available to complete should you wish.

Notes

The Notes feature lets you save information for later. You can write questions for your care team, record a video physiotherapy exercise, or save audio notes for future reference. Video and voice notes of up to one minute can be recorded.

Test results

The test results feature serves as a dashboard where you can view up-to-date lab results. You can tap a lab result to see trends over the course of your inpatient hospital stay.

Education

View assigned materials, then select “I understand” or “I have questions.” Choosing “I have questions” notifies your care team you need more help and records this in your medical record.

Maps

The maps feature displays information about how to find your way around the hospital.

Friends and family access

You can view who else has access to your hospital information. This refers to a caregiver who has signed up to MyGOSH on your behalf. This feature is available to you only.

Friends and family updates

The friends and family updates feature enables you and your caregiver who has also signed up to MyGOSH to send messages to each other during your inpatient hospital stay.

Other visits

You can access MyGOSH Bedside in two ways:

  1. You can access MyGOSH Bedside by clicking the MyChart Bedside app in the ‘Health’ section on your hospital TV by your hospital bedside. If you are eligible, you will be sent an email and a text message with an activation code when you are admitted to an inpatient ward. Enter this activation code in your MyChart Bedside app alongside your date of birth.
  2. Another way to access MyGOSH Bedside is by logging into your MyGOSH account on your personal mobile device via the MyChart app and selecting ‘Your Hospital Stay’.

You are eligible to access MyGOSH Bedside if you or your family member has a MyGOSH account or if you are 16 years old and older and have your contact details recorded in your medical record.

If you don’t have a MyGOSH account, don’t worry you may still access MyGOSH Bedside on your hospital TV.

If you need help accessing MyGOSH Bedside, please ask a member of staff.

MyGOSH Bedside is specific to your hospital stay. MyChart and MyChart bedside are two separate apps. MyGOSH Bedside is available in your MyChart Bedside app on your hospital TV. It is also available in your MyChart app in a menu called ‘your hospital stay’ when you log into your MyGOSH account. This menu is only available when you are admitted to hospital as an inpatient.

Once you are discharged you will return to the standard MyGOSH view.

For more information, please log into your MyGOSH account via the MyChart app and review ‘MyGOSH Bedside’ education topic to find out more.

Any information about your hospital stay will be safely stored inside your electronic health record when you leave hospital.

When you first log in to the MyGOSH Bedside portal via the MyChart Bedside app, you'll be asked to create a personal PIN.

If your MyGOSH Bedside portal is inactive for 10 minutes, it will lock and you'll need to enter your PIN again. If you enter the wrong PIN five times, a staff member can help reset it.

Your PIN helps keep your medical information secure.
