The Importance of Having a Personal Health Record

A personal health record is a confidential collection of health information including medical conditions, prescriptions, recent procedures and emergency contact information.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 
PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 6, 2012 - A personal health record is a confidential collection of health information including medical conditions, prescriptions, recent procedures and emergency contact information. It is a convenient and potentially life-saving tool because it allows medical history to be stored in one place and can be shared with whoever is given access, including various doctors and emergency medical personnel. Information in a personal health record that generic medical records may don’t hold, such as family health history, DNR orders, or a living will, are things that can be included. Sharing information about recent medical procedures and conditions with every doctor could save both time and money by avoiding duplicate tests and procedures.
Medical records stored at doctor’s offices usually aren’t readily available to patients, and can be timely and costly to put together. In an emergency situation, access to these records is needed quickly, but many have trouble getting them in time. By creating and managing a personal health record, medical records will be easily accessible at all times and will ensure full preparation for any situation.
While everyone can benefit from having a personal health record, it is highly recommended for the elderly, disabled and physically or mentally impaired as it makes caregiving easier and more effective. It will reduce misdiagnosis and significantly improve accurate medical response in a crisis.
