Since your health information is scattered across many different providers and facilities - keeping your own complete, updated and easily accessible health record means you can play a more active role in your healthcare. Communication with the Personal Health Record and your healthcare doctors and providers is important.
With your personal health record (PHR) made available under YOUR control, enhanced communication and subsequently an improved coordination of care with medical specialists, hospital emergency departments and other health care providers will occur. This will result in increased safety from medical errors and duplicative services.
Keeping your own personal health record (PHR) allows you to provide doctors with valuable information that can help improve the quality of care you receive. A PHR can help reduce or eliminate tests and allow you to receive faster, safer treatment and care in an emergency. In short, a PHR helps you play a more active role in yours and your loved ones' healthcare.
The ePACE program allows you to communicate through a personalized email via secure messaging, and you will not have to check any more than one email account to find all of your messages. Messages must not be used for urgent or emergency matters. The messaging service is for the ePACE Health members who have agreed to the guidelines regarding its use and limitations.
