What is the benefit of having a Portable Electronic Health Record and online access to my chart?
Electronic health records improve quality of care, safety and transfer of information between physicians. In fact, according to a detailed survey of 2,600 physicians who use electronic records cited in the New York Times, 82 percent of those using such electronic records said they improved the quality of clinical decisions, 86 percent said they helped in avoiding medication errors and 85 percent said they improved the delivery of preventative care. Should you need to see an emergency specialist at any time, he or she can access your health records and make informed decisions.
