Healthcare facilities rely on companies like Abbott Laboratories when it comes to diagnostic technology, medications, and more. The products offered by this business play a crucial role in diagnosing conditions and providing treatment, which means they’re likely to appear within a patient’s medical records once a doctor’s visit is complete.
While Abbott Laboratories specializes in medical product manufacturing, DrOwl offers a secure and convenient method of storing and accessing personal health records. Our telehealth app turns your mobile device into a healthcare hub containing medical records from numerous providers, which makes it easier to be proactive about managing your health and wellness.
Abbott Laboratories doesn’t provide healthcare services directly to patients, but it does manufacture many of the devices and medications doctors use when treating patients. As a result, it’s not possible to access medical records from the business, as these records are created by the hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities responsible for providing services.
HIPAA laws dictate that providers must act in a timely manner when receiving information requests from patients. And state and federal laws stipulate limitations on how long it can take a provider to respond to requests. However, patients still run into obstacles when requesting access to their personal health information, including:
• Taking weeks (or even months) for information to be provided
• Requesting records from different healthcare providers
• Paying small fees for certain types of medical records
While these obstacles may seem relatively minor, they can make it more challenging to take greater control over your health and wellness.
With our telehealth app, patients can conveniently store and access medical records for improved health and wellness. DrOwl is fully compliant with HIPAA rules and regulations for your peace of mind, but users are also free to add others to their account, such as caregivers, to ensure they have a healthcare advocate in their corner.
