MyGOSH Bedside
If you would like this information in another language or format, please contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS).
Most inpatient beds at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) have a bedside entertainment system. This large touchscreen tablet gives you access to entertainment and information during your stay.
A great feature of the system is ‘MyGOSH Bedside’ which allows you to see real-time updates about your care during your hospital stay.
This page explains more about MyGOSH Bedside and its features. MyGOSH Bedside is also accessible via the MyChart app.
Please note: MyGOSH Bedside is also sometimes called MyChart Bedside.
You can access MyGOSH Bedside in two ways:
On the bedside entertainment system
- Press the ‘My Health’ icon
- Press the ‘Bedside’ icon
- Read and accept the user agreement
- Click ‘Get started’
- Enter your activation code and date of birth. You will have been sent an activation code via email and text message when you were admitted to the ward, if you are eligible.
On your mobile phone
- Log into your MyGOSH account via the MyChart app
- Select ‘Your Hospital Stay’.
This feature is only available during your inpatient stay. Once you are discharged you will return to the standard MyGOSH view.
Home Page
The homepage shows 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
This shows what’s happening during your hospital stay, including past and upcoming events like appointments, surgeries, and medications.
Please note, our hospital is a busy environment and timings are approximate.
Care Team and Meet our staff
This allows you to see who’s caring for you during your stay.
You can also click on ‘About Me’ to find out more about the different clinical roles at GOSH and how they can help you during your stay. Toggling ‘show inactive members’ shows which members of staff have cared for you on previous shifts.
Video visits
This feature allows healthcare professionals to schedule a video visit with you. Click on this link when you receive a notification in the MyGOSH Bedside portal to start the visit.
Questionnaires
The questionnaires feature allows you to respond to questionnaires about your care and stay.
For example, our ‘Fingerprints’ questionnaire help our staff to know more about you and your likes and dislikes.
Notes
This lets you save information for later. You can write questions for your doctor, record a 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 about your health condition, 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
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 view information about any previous hospital inpatient visits using this feature.
Who can access MyGOSH Bedside
You are eligible to access MyGOSH Bedside if:
- You or your family member has a MyGOSH account
- 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, you may still access MyGOSH Bedside on your bedside system.
If you need help accessing MyGOSH Bedside, please ask a member of staff.
Any information about your hospital stay will be safely stored inside your electronic health record when you leave hospital.
Once you have logged into your MyGOSH Bedside portal you will be asked to set a PIN.
For security, your MyChart Bedside app screen will lock after 10 minutes of inactivity. You’ll need to re-enter your PIN to continue.
You can enter the wrong PIN up to five times before you will need to ask a staff member to reset it.
Using a PIN helps keep your medical information safe.
