Putting medical records at patients’ fingertips

Taking charge of health: The personal health record (PHR) can help to reduce or eliminate duplicate tests and allow patients to receive faster and safer treatment.

HEALTH records, comprising radiographs, prescriptions, biopsy reports and blood test results, are crucial components of patient care.

Traditionally, these records were in paper form, making them cumbersome to carry around. As healthcare becomes more advanced, many hospitals have transitioned to using electronic medical records.
