your personal medical record (pmr)

Your personal medical information is a valuable resource to you, your family, and the doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who provide your treatment and care. But did you know that, in most cases, a complete record of all of your personal medical information cannot be found in any single location or consistent format?

Each one 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 medical record (PMR) allows you to provide doctors with valuable information that can help improve the quality of care you receive. A PMR can help reduce or eliminate duplicate data entry and duplicate tests and allow you to receive faster, safer treatment and care in an emergency. In short, a PMR helps you play a more active role in your healthcare.

how does it benefit me?

Save time.When you need answers to questions about your healthcare, the information is at your fingertips. No more calling your doctor's office to request your paper file, scrambling to find old prescriptions, or searching for your health insurance information.

Improve the quality of your care. Ensure that you and your care providers make medical decisions based on a complete history. A personal medical record can help providers make diagnoses, prescribe medications, and monitor treatment plans. A personal medical record is especially useful for patients managing chronic conditions such as diabetes. These conditions require close and continuous tracking of lab and test results, treatment plans, medications, office visits and other information.

Manage your dependents' care. If you manage care for a spouse, children, or elderly parents a personal medical record can make the job much easier.

There is no fee for the MxRegister PMR. It is included as part of the PatientNOW online communications service and provided free to patients as a public service.
