Do you know what’s in your personal health record? If you don’t, there’s no need to be embarrassed — many people are still not sure what their personal health record, or PHR, actually contains. However, if you want to help your new doctor get up to speed quickly, you’ll need to have a way of getting your medical records to them without delay.
Most people carry their medical records on paper, which is a rather inefficient system. If your previous doctor has begun getting with the times, you might actually have a way of getting your new doctor your records faster: a digital health record instead of the traditional paper system.
The reason why your PHR is better in this format is because it can be immediately transferred to your new doctor without you even having to lift a finger — all you need to do is give your new doctor your old doctor’s contact information and the transfer can take place in a matter of seconds in a secure way rather than having to sort to faxes or the mailbox.
Overall, if you want to ensure that your new doctor has all the medical history they need to fully take care of your health care needs, you will definitely want to look into getting your medical history converted into a digital health record as soon as possible.
