Managing your own complete, updated, and easily accessible health record means you can play a more active role in your health care. Think about how your health information is scattered across many different providers and facilities. By keeping your personal health record up-to-date and complete, the right information will be available when you need it.
Your health record includes:
List of medication: including the start dates of medications
Allergy alert if any
Medical History: including previous surgeries
Family medical history
It is very important for you and your love ones know your health information and your critical records so that medical staff can obtain the information quickly in emergencies.
