This video explains your recovery tracker and how to use it.

After your surgery, you may have some pain or other symptoms. To help us care for you, we want to know how you're feeling so we can make sure you're recovering as expected. We'll stay connected through your recovery tracker.

Your recovery tracker is a questionnaire we’ll send to your patient portal, MSK MyChart, after you leave the hospital. You'll see your recovery tracker in MSK MyChart every day for 5 to 10 days after you leave the hospital. We'll send you a reminder to fill it out.

On your home screen, select View Tasks to see each to-do item. If you don't see the tasks on your home screen, you can search Tasks in the menu.

Making your recovery tracker part of your daily routine will help you remember to fill it out. It's best to complete it around the same time each day, always complete it before midnight.

To complete your recovery tracker, log in to MSK MyChart by visiting mskmychart.mskcc.org or opening the MSK MyChart app on your smartphone or tablet. Once you've logged in, you'll see a message with a link to your recovery tracker.

Completing your recovery tracker takes just a few minutes. Your answers will let us know how you're feeling and if there's anything we can do to help. If there are any areas of concern, a message will appear in the questionnaire. Complete the survey, then call your health care provider. You will also get alerts for any areas of concern in your tasks.

When you're done, click this Submit button. This will send your answers to your health care team.

While it's normal to feel tired after surgery, it's important to fill out your recovery tracker so that we can help you with your recovery. It's okay if someone helps you complete your questionnaire, as long as they ask you directly about your symptoms.

We'll monitor your responses and help you manage any symptoms you tell us about. You can contact us through MSK MyChart or by calling your doctor's office.

Thank you and we wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery.
