We encourage all our 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 your contact(s).
1. Sign into your MyDirectives account at www.app.MyDirectives.com
(if you cannot remember your password, you can reset it by clicking on the "Forgot Credentials" link)
2. On the My Dashboard screen, click on the My Contacts button in the left-hand side menu of your screen or the Update my Contacts link in your Dashboard.
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 and/or phone number so a digital copy will be received.
5. If you have provided an email address and/or phone number 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 an and b below).
- Provide one level of access for all documents - This is the default option, and the same level of access applies to your documentation for this contact.
- 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(s) will receive an email or SMS message (depending on which you provided) that you have shared documentation with them, which they can use to access your information and share it in case of an emergency.
