Bring your UC San Diego Health records into Triangle.

How to bring UC San Diego records into Triangle

Status labels you may see: Connect, Request, Connected, Running, Partial, Complete, Reconnect. No scheduled sync.

1. Sign in and choose the person

   The grant is for that person and UC San Diego Health, not every portal login you have.

2. Settings → Connections, then UC San Diego

   Triangle connects to MyChart at 100,000 Epic care locations. If UC San Diego shows Connect, it is switched on for your account. If it shows Request, it is not yet.

3. Sign in on UC San Diego Health’s own page

   Connect opens UC San Diego Health’s own sign-in page. You sign in with your MyUCSDChart account and approve access there, so Triangle does not see that password. A Triangle account is not a MyUCSDChart login.

4. Choose categories and start the import

   You start it, and records usually arrive in under 5 minutes. Triangle saves the source records and where each item came from. New vitals can show under Measurements. Other records go to Records.

5. If it shows Request

   Leave a request, and Triangle can notify you when UC San Diego becomes available. Until then, or if UC San Diego is not listed at all, save files from UC San Diego’s portal and upload them. The UC San Diego copy answer on this page has UC San Diego Health’s own steps.

6. Read the status

   Connected is authorization only. Partial means some records arrived. Complete covers that run, for the categories you chose, within what UC San Diego Health sent. Reconnect means approve access again. There is no scheduled sync.

What a UC San Diego import can include

Triangle’s Epic import covers the patient profile, visits, problems and diagnoses, allergies, medication orders, lab results, vital signs, diagnostic reports, immunizations, procedures, and clinical documents. What arrives depends on UC San Diego Health, your permissions, and import limits. Messages and billing are not this import.

• Medication orders are not proof you take that medicine now.
• Records UC San Diego Health does not send are still missing when a status says Complete.

The account you need

You need a Triangle account that can add records for that person, then MyUCSDChart’s own authorization. UC San Diego Health’s portal is MyUCSDChart, and its app is MyUCSDHealth. Epic, MyChart, and UC San Diego Health do not endorse Triangle. Another hospital is a separate connection.

Connected is not imported

A connection stores access. It is not a finished import, a complete history, or clinical accuracy. There is no scheduled sync. Disconnecting does not delete records already saved.

If UC San Diego shows Request

Then UC San Diego is not switched on for your account yet. A request does not open MyUCSDChart or retrieve records, and it is not a HIPAA request. Triangle can notify you when it becomes available. For a formal copy, the UC San Diego copy answer above has UC San Diego Health’s own steps.

How do I sign up for and sign in to MyUCSDChart?

UC San Diego Health says to choose "Sign up now" with an activation code. Without one, call 619-543-5220, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

These steps come from UC San Diego Health’s own pages, checked 4 November 2026. If UC San Diego Health’s pages say something different, UC San Diego Health’s pages are current.

How do I get a full copy of my UC San Diego records?

UC San Diego Health says records requested through MyUCSDChart cost nothing and usually take 3 business days, while its online form could cost up to $6.50. On paper, the Authorization to Release Medical Information goes with a copy of your photo ID; the first 20 pages cost nothing, then 25 cents a page, up to $6.50. It notes the California legal maximum is 15 days. Health Information Management is 619-543-6704.

UC San Diego Health also says a request does not automatically include medical records from other providers or facilities.

A copy you download or receive can come into Triangle as a file you already have. Not every file can be read. If a copy is slow to arrive, the HIPAA right of access answer below explains what you can ask for.

Can I see records from other hospitals in MyUCSDChart?

Epic says linking depends on the provider’s version of Epic and on both organizations taking part, and that the starting point is the Link My Accounts page in MyChart. That link lives inside MyChart. In Triangle, another hospital is still a separate connection.

Can an app get my UC San Diego records without my password?

Epic says an app you share with never sees your MyChart username or password, because you log in on your healthcare organization’s own secure login page. You then choose which types of information to share and for how long, and confirm. Epic says Linked Apps and Devices in MyChart shows each app and when its access ends, and "Stop sharing" removes one.

ONC says the choice of app is yours. ONC also says you need to make sure the third party’s policies and data practices meet your expectations, especially because once this data is outside your health care provider’s hands it will not be covered by HIPAA.

How do I get my UC San Diego scans, or send records to another doctor?

UC San Diego Health says all imaging results, including CT scans, MRIs and ultrasounds, are released to MyUCSDChart automatically: normal results four days after they are available, abnormal results seven days after. For images from before 2018, you request them through MyUCSDChart or the authorization form, and Radiology may be able to send them by email or mail. Radiology takes requests by fax at 619-543-5239 or by email at digitallibrary@health.ucsd.edu. For copies of images or past records, it lists 619-543-6586. Its online request form does not cover radiology and X-ray records.

UC San Diego says paper records sent directly to another health care provider cost nothing. If you sign for someone else, it asks for a copy of guardianship papers, an advance directive or health care power of attorney, or a designation of personal representative.

These answers come from UC San Diego Health’s own pages, checked 7 November 2026. If UC San Diego Health’s pages say something different, UC San Diego Health’s pages are current.
