Who is in Charge of Your Vital Health Information?
If you are like most people, you receive health care services in more than one place. Information about those services is kept separately in each doctors’ office, specialist practice, lab and hospital. Getting the information takes time. If your doctors could access it quickly, it could help them make better decisions about your care.
The Health and Well Being of Your Family is Your First Concern
Patients want their doctors to have the information they need to make the best decisions about their healthcare. They want this especially in an emergency.
- A nationwide study* found that information technology in health care is outdated.
- This prevents doctors from getting patient information when they need it.
- It causes patient upset, high costs, and needless errors.
