Your Medical History Has a Story: How Connecting Your Records Can Reveal the Bigger Picture 

For patients, each doctor visit and hospital stay is accompanied by a comprehensive record. This record contains information on your health history, past and present diagnoses, treatments, and other useful information. That’s why patients are encouraged to view their medical records regularly to fully understand the big picture of their health.  

Why Should You Interact With Your Health Records on a Regular Basis? 

HIPAA gives all patients in the U.S. the right to view and request copies of their medical records. This information can create a general overview of your health, which is important for making smart decisions. As a result, interacting with your health records can: 

• Help you prepare for appointments – You can use your medical records to prepare questions for future doctor’s visits.  

• Find errors in your medical records – Medical records errors are unfortunately common but regular reviews lets you pinpoint possible mistakes to have them remedied.  

• Follow drug instructions accurately – Your medical records contain important information on your prescriptions. With your records handy, you can read instructions on dosing and side effects.  

• Recognize when health conditions change – When you better understand your health and health conditions, you’ll have more insight into symptoms and health effects.
