MyDirectives

We encourage users to share their MyDirectives® Advance Care Plan with family, close friends, healthcare providers, and other professionals who may be asked to aid in expressing the user's voice. The process is simple and requires very little information about the Contact.

What you will need

• The Username for your MyDirectives® account
• The Password for your MyDirectives® account
• Contact Information for the individual you will be sharing you advance care plan with
  • First Name and Last Name are required
  • We recommend having the Email Address for the individual

Steps to take

1. Sign into the account to be closed at www.app.MyDirectives.com
   (if you cannot remember your password, you can reest it by clicking on the "Forgot your password?" link)
   
   
2. On the My Dashboard screen, click on Send Documents button at the top right-hand side of your screen.
3. Click on the Add New Contact button to get started. Select the type of contact you would like to add under "Relationship/Specialty".
   (the options are Family and Friends, Healthcare Provider, or Professional (Legal, Accounting, Insurance))
   
   
   
4. Enter the information you have for the new contact into the respective fields. We recommend entering the Contact's email address so a digital copy will be received.
   
   
5. If you have provided an email address for your Contact, under the lower section "Share Preferences" select the level of access you feel is appropriate for this contact. You can select to provide the same level of access for all documents on your MyDirectives® account, or a different level of access by document type (see bullets a and b below).
   
   To understand what the different options mean you can click on the "Explanation of Share Preferences" link under the selection.

1. Provide one level of access for all documents - This is the default option, and applies the same level of access to your documentation for this contact.
   
   
2. Provide different levels of access for each document - This option allows you to select the level of access by individual document for the Contact you are adding. Enable this option by clicking the "It Depends on the Document" option.
   
   

     6. Once complete click on the Save & Continue button at the bottom of the screen.

Once complete, your Contact will receive an email (if you entered an email address) that you have shared documentation with them, which they can use to access your information and share it in case of an emergency.
