How do I deactivate my Account?

You may deactivate your account by signing a release in person at The Medical Group during clinic hours and we will deactivate your account for you.  Your medical record will not be impacted in any way.

Where is my medical data stored?

The The Medical Group Patient Portal accesses the same secure offsite database that we use in our clinic.  The database is located in a secure data centre hosted by TELUS in Calgary, AB, which has been designed to be highly available and with rigorous security.

I noticed an error in my medical record – what should I do?

If you notice an error or inconsistency in your record, please highlight your concern with your provider at your next appointment. If you feel it must be more urgently addressed, please contact The Medical Group at 604-826-6231 and notify us about your concern.

How do I know my medical data is secure?

Our goal is to provide you with the best security currently available. The Medical Group Patient Portal uses industry standard security practices to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
For example, your personal information is protected while it is in transit between your computer and our server using security techniques such as encryption, which ensures that your personal information cannot be read or modified while it is being transferred. Please also see our Privacy Policy.

Will I be required to change my password?

No, there are no mandated time restrictions requiring password changes. However it is advisable to change your password from time to time, and if you have reason to believe it may have been compromised in any way.

What if I forget my password?

There is a self-serve password recovery mechanism in the patient portal. Look for the link "Forgot Password".  You will be prompted to answer the security questions you chose at registration.  If you are unable to reset your password, you will require a new registration PIN from The Medical Group.

How do you protect my personal information?

We are committed to protecting your personal information – both the information you provided for registration and the lab test information you access online. To prevent unauthorized access, several safeguards are used; such as complex passwords, encrypted information during transit, automatic log out of an account after a period of inactivity, and locking an account after several unsuccessful login attempts. Please also refer to our Privacy Policy.

I have consented to give someone access to my medical record, but I now wish to revoke that consent. What do I do?

You may revoke your consent by signing a release in person at The Medical Group at 32243 Hurd Street, Mission, BC, V2V 3J9

I used to be able to see my child’s medical record, but their profile is no longer available. Why is this?

As a matter of policy, The Medical Group requires explicit consent for access to your child’s medical record after their 14th birthday. We believe that by establishing trust in the confidential nature of our relationship with your adolescent child, we can nurture a more open and forthright dialogue, resulting in better and more complete healthcare for your child. We hope that you will understand and respect this approach. (There is no official age at which a child in BC can consent to health care; rather it depends on whether they are capable to understand.) Your child is welcome to have their own portal account on the The Medical Group Patient Portal.

If you have any other questions regarding the The Medical Group Patient Portal, we encourage you to please contact the clinic during business hours at 604-826-6231.
