How can you get your personal health records from Barclay Medical and other healthcare providers? Through DrOwl! Our innovative healthcare app provides secure access to your complete medical record. We can also help you navigate the process of requesting your records from different providers.
According to HIPAA, all Americans have a right to see and receive copies of their medical records. To access your records, you must contact the clinic or hospital that provided care. In many cases, you’ll be directed to a patient portal online. However, some systems may require you to fill out a form to make your request.
Your medical records contain important information about your health, and reviewing this information can help you gain a better understanding of conditions and treatments. However, there’s another crucial reason to check your records regularly: errors.
Even a seemingly minor error or oversight can greatly impact your health. An error may lead to a missed or wrong diagnosis, or it could result in you taking the wrong type or dose of medications. While it’s ultimately up to medical professionals to ensure the accuracy of patient records, reviewing data on your own provides peace of mind.
Our DrOwl app has two distinct advantages over your standard patient portal. We understand that medical records can be complex, so we translate medical terminology into plain language. Our app also features a Patient Snapshot that provides a brief summary of your health.
DrOwl is compatible with thousands of medical providers nationwide, including hospitals and clinics affiliated with Medicare and the VA.Other features include:
