See your parent’s MyScripps account
Hospitals call this proxy access, or family access. You sign in with your own login and switch to your parent’s account, so you never need their password. At Scripps: the patient sends a Proxy Invite from their own account or signs a form at a Scripps facility.
- 1Your parent logs in to MyScripps and opens the Friends and Family Access page.
- 2Your parent sends you a Proxy Invite from that page. With an invite, no paper form is needed.
- 3You sign in with your own MyScripps account. Each person must have their own account.
- 4If your parent does not use MyScripps, they can set up Adult to Adult proxy access in person by filling out the Designation of Personal Representation form at any Scripps facility.
- 5Once access is set up, you switch to your parent's record with the name button in the upper right corner.

Your parent’s rights
- Your parent has a legal right to copies of their own records.
- When your parent asks, the hospital must answer within 30 days. It can take 30 more days once, if it explains why in writing.
- It can charge only a reasonable fee, based on what the copy costs to make.
- These rules also cover an electronic copy your parent asks, in writing, to have sent to you.
