The Active Living After Cancer (ALAC) program helps patients maintain wellness in the wake of a cancer diagnosis and treatment. Former cancer patients also require lots of follow-up visits, tests, and monitoring to determine whether additional treatment is recommended.
No matter your health status, playing an active part in your healthcare is just as important as proper nutrition and regular exercise. One way to boost your involvement in the care you receive is by regularly reviewing your medical records, and DrOwl can help. Our innovative healthcare app allows patients to store medical records digitally and access information with a mobile device.
Patients have a right to access their medical records as they see fit, and practitioners are obligated to fulfill these requests due to HIPAA laws. If you’re not sure how you can get your records, contact the medical office directly for help. In most cases, you’ll need to do one of the following:
Patient portals tend to offer access to existing records immediately, while other methods can take from 30 to 60 days before you receive your records. These timelines are often significantly shorter when doctors use electronic systems for managing records.
Requesting medical records from different providers can be more stressful than you might expect, but DrOwl offers a better solution. Our medical records storage app can contain information from numerous providers, including those affiliated with the VA and Medicare. If you have questions about information within your records, you can securely message your doctor in the app. You’ll also be privy to medication alerts and physician-curated health resources.
