Who couldn’t use some help keeping track of your family’s health? When a new school year approaches, there are health forms, physicals, vaccinations and screenings to track down or schedule.

Ever wish you had a health personal assistant?

Proxy access through Norton MyChart can help you manage your family’s health information. This features allows parents to connect their Norton MyChart account with their children’s electronic medical records, giving them the ability to make appointments, get important reminders and send non-urgent messages to their care team. Setting it up is fast and easy. You can find the instructions here.

To get started, here are three ways you can manage your family’s health through Norton MyChart this summer and beyond. It just may become one of your favorite parenting hacks.

To do this, sign in to Norton MyChart, click on your child’s name, choose visits, and complete the steps to set up an appointment with your child’s provider.

2.    Request immunization records via Norton MyChart

It’s an increasingly digital world, so when you leave the doctor’s office with your child’s immunization record in hand, and can’t find it on the first day back to school, don’t worry. You’re not alone.

Send a message to your child’s provider through Norton MyChart and request your child’s immunization record be sent to the school via mail or fax. Just be sure to include specific instructions on where to send it and to whom it should be addressed.

3.    Get notified when your child is due for screenings or vaccinations
