The provincial government has launched MyHealth Records, allowing New Brunswickers to access their general lab results through a new online portal.

By visiting MyHealthNB, residents can now go back to the month of their last blood work appointment to find results, which shows if the results are low, normal, or high. The results date back as far as 2010, depending on the type of test and location where the test was taken. New results will be available online seven days after the test result is back from the lab.

Currently, about 215,000 New Brunswickers have verified MyHealth accounts, and have access to the MyHealth Records portal.

Adam Bowie, spokesperson for the Health Department of New Brunswick, said immunizations, medication profiles, and other lab results will be added in the future.

Bowie said while residents can discuss their results with their health-care provider at their regular follow-up, the patient’s health-care provider should contact them if any followup care is required.
