Personal Health Record
Keeping track of your personal health information is important for you your family, and the healthcare professionals who provide your treatment and care. Surprisingly, in today’s rapidly expanding information age, in most cases a complete record of all of your personal health information cannot be found in any single location or consistent format? Because each of your healthcare providers (family practitioner, allergist, OB-GYN, etc.) compiles a separate medical record on you, these multiple medical records can lead to an incomplete story about your health.
Keeping your own personal health record (PHR) allows you to provide your caregivers with valuable information that can help improve the quality of care you receive. A PHR can help reduce or eliminate duplicate tests and allow you to receive faster, safer treatment and care in an emergency.
Alta Bates Medical Group, in conjunction with Relay Health, provides access to the Relay Health PHR.
