Too Few Seniors Check Their Medical Records Online
Many Hawai‘i medical clinics, hospitals, and individual doctors have your medical records online for your review. Some offer email contact with doctors, with the opportunity to post pictures of your medical condition like a rash or sore. If your doctor offers this service, you need to get online to check what information they have in your electronic file.
Too few American seniors go online to check their health records, a new study suggests.
Many doctors offer patients online access to certain parts of their electronic medical records, including immunization records, lab results, safe and correct use of medications and reminders for visits and screenings.
However, this study suggests that older Americans are being left behind when it comes to the benefits of electronic medical records.
