In medical practice, it is common to see patients who have seen physicians and had tests at other hospitals or other facilities, but do not have the results with them. This frustrates physicians as they must track down these records or are left with incomplete medical information. This can result in repeat testing and delays in patient care.

YourMedChart prevents these situations by maintaining medical records from all of a patient's physicians and hospitals online. Enrolled patients are able to submit official medical reports and images which are then available to any physician who is authorized by the patient. Physicians and medical professionals at YourMedChart organize this medical information categorically to increase utility when authorized physicians view the record. All official medical documentation is categorized separately from patient entered information (history, allergy, medications, symptoms). This maintains the practical utility and professional relevance of all submitted medical information.

For a patient presenting with hemoptysis, a physician can immediately see their chest CT from the Cleveland Clinic, pulmonary function tests from a pulmonologist's private practice, and labs from a recent hospitalization at Cook County for COPD exacerbation. All of these records are available at YourMedChart even though they originated from different, unrelated healthcare centers.

Indeed, reviewing a record on YourMedChart is similar to a local electronic medical record system that may be available at your institution. However, YourMedChart contains medical records from any and all healthcare providers for a given patient.

It is easy to see how useful this can be for patients and physicians. Such a source saves the physician considerable time in addressing current issues in the patient's medical care. It can save patients money and unnecessary risk by avoiding repetition of invasive procedures, labs and imaging. The patient's record is available anywhere, anytime. All the physician needs is authorization from the patient and an internet connection.

We are excited to offer this service, as it will truly improve patient care for each patient who registers. Please encourage your patients to register for this service so they may also benefit.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
