What is a Personal Health Record?

A Personal Health Record, or PHR, is a collection of medical information gathered and maintained by a patient and/or his or her caregivers. This information may include a list of a patient's medications, supplements, drug and food allergies, immunizations, conditions, procedures, physicians, emergency contacts, and information about a patient's medical and family history, insurance information, and more.

There are many sources that can provide information to help the patient populate the PHR. This may include your family, doctors, and pharmacists.

The rise of the Internet has led to the popular act of online Personal Health Records. On MedsFile.com, individuals may access their Personal Health Record through a computer or mobile phone with Internet access.

With the necessary authorization, a MedsFile.com Personal Health Record may be accessed by any designated party of the customer's choosing. This may include doctors, EMTs, hospitals, pharmacies, loved ones, and caregivers every day or in an emergency.
