A digital health record can save your life...
A digital health record can save your life... What a title!!! How can a health record save someone's life?
Let's say for example, a person is jogging in a park, then suddenly he just fell flat on the road side. He was sent straight to a nearby hospital. All the diagnosis are done, but they still didn't know what's wrong with the person, unless further diagnosis be executed.
If the person has a "Personal Health Record" (PHR), then he has an ID indicating that the hospital can check his records, they would be able to know his health condition. The patient would be assisted better by the physicians. Physicians would be given a hint of what medications the patient is taking.
And speaking of medication, the patient might be allergic to some medicines. His life would be at risk if he would be given a drug that he's allergic to. With a PHR, this tragic situation can be prevented. Just imagine, the physicians were trying to save the life of their patient then the patient dies because of he was given a shot that he's allergic to, which pushes the patient's body system to fail more and die.
This situation can be prevented by giving physicians on the rescue a clue about their patients health history record.
