PERSONAL HEALTHCARE RECORDS
When someone hears about
medical records do they really know or understand or care what they are all
about? Although they probably think that this is only something that
medical people need to be concerned about, there is an increasing need for
them to get involved, too. However, patients need something different;
namely, information about them crafted to meet their needs.
Doctors' medical records contain diagnosis, treatment
and follow-up data. When you talk to the office administrator, it is a
combination of the Doctor's record and insurance and billing information.
At a hospital, they have similar records plus results of specific tests and
collaboration that hopefully
are
in electronic records
created in various formats by one of at least 15 different companies
providing business systems for medical records. However, most hospitals still keep at least 80%
of their records on paper and microfiche with the remaining 20%
digitally archived in multiple buildings and locations. As we go through
life we have numerous checkups and contract many different types of
illnesses and receive injuries from accidents at home and abroad. With each
medical encounter, a record is created and filed at the location of the
specific health care provider.
With all of this detail,
distributed in so many different places, nothing paints a clear, concise
picture that has the patient perspective with information organized and
summarized the way the patient needs it.
Lifelong PHR, on the other hand, provides an organized way to consolidate
life’s medical experience information in a single place where it can be used
in an emergency situation or increase the value received from countless
visits to medical professionals, pharmacies and laboratories. In the
following diagram, we graphically portray information captured in Lifelong PHR.

Expectation Setting
Can anyone expect doctors, hospitals, pharmacies
and labs to keep records for them indefinitely and to include everything
that they will need going forward in life?
What will happen when some go out of business,
merge or retire? How about all the records that were destroyed along
with hospitals and doctor's offices during Hurricane Katrina?
Over a person's lifetime, their records are
spread over numerous facilities and providers worldwide. Here is a
typical one.
