Why was MyHealthArchive created?
MyHealthArchive was created because Dr. Davies saw in his practice that medical care is delayed, reduced in quality and sometimes less safe when full medical records are not available. Medical care has lower quality when patients are not at its center and are not actively participating. MyHealthArchive was designed to place the patient in control of his or her medical records. Putting the patient in control of his or her medical records strongly reduces disorganization and fragmentation that occurs when patients receive care and treatment at various locations or change health insurance plans. MyHealthArchive can improve access to patient’s health history information and improve patient safety through better communication and coordination of medical care.
