What important information related to electronic medical records should seniors be aware of?
Electronic medical records are an asset to providing good continuity of care. At Premier Health, we offer patients a free electronic medical record account called MyChart.
Benefits of Electronic Medical Records
Having your health records saved electronically has many benefits, such as the following:
- Allows the records to be available and organized
- Allows easy, quick access to your medical history
- Ensures your care as a patient is not overlooked or duplicated
- Helps your physician develop a long-term care plan
With MyChart, you can elect to add a family member to your account to help you manage the information. That person can sign into your MyChart account on your behalf to help you keep track of medical appointments, prescription refills, lab test results and more.
Talk to your physician to get an access code to sign up for your own MyChart electronic medical record.
