Grady MyChart Video Visit

Make Your Next Visit By Video

The Grady team you already know and trust is now offering care from anywhere with Virtual Visits.

Grady offers virtual visits (also called telehealth visits) in most clinics. A virtual visit allows you and your family to have a secure, live-video appointment with your care team from the comfort of your home. The best part is you can save time and travel costs and receive the same quality care as an in-person visit.

Video visits (virtual visits) are perfect when you have an existing relationship with a Grady provider and have a condition that may not need in-person care.

If this sounds like you, you may get a call to schedule your next visit by video. The scheduling team will cover everything you need to get ready for your video visit. You need a smartphone, tablet, or computer and an active MyChart account. On the day of the visit, join the video appointment with your provider and connect face-to-face in real-time to discuss your care. You’ll even be able to see x-rays and lab results.

We look forward to caring for you in a way – and place – that works best for you.

Preparing for Your Visit

Once you have everything downloaded and tested, you are ready to prepare for your visit.

Before Your Video Appointment

You must log in to the MyChart app and complete the ECHECK-IN process three days before your video visit. You can access this from your appointment within MyChart. It will ask you to verify and update your contact information.

Day of Your Appointment

You can have a video visit just about anywhere. But make sure to:

  • Select a quiet, private, well-lit location for your video visit.
  • Check your signal. Make sure this place has a strong Wi-Fi signal. Please be aware that if you use mobile data, phone carrier charges may apply.
  • Charge your device. Make sure the mobile device is fully charged.
  • Be on time. Please make sure you are online and checked in 20 minutes before your appointment time.

Time to Begin

  • Open the MyChart app. Log in to Grady MyChart and find your appointment in the appointments list.
  • Tap the Telehealth appointment and choose ECHECK-IN. You will be asked to confirm a few pre-appointment details before you can start your visit.
  • Beginning 20 minutes before your appointment time, a green BEGIN VISIT button will appear at the bottom of your video visit appointment page. You will see this button only after completing ECHECK-IN. Click the button when you’re ready to chat with your healthcare provider. It’s recommended that you join at least five minutes ahead of your appointment time.
