Why check your medical records on a regular basis? There are plenty of good reasons:
Patients have the right to view and share their medical records under HIPAA, but for many people, accessing records is easier said than done. DrOwl offers secure and convenient management of medical records, but we also help patients understand the process for requesting and receiving health information.
Prior to the development of electronic health records, healthcare providers used paper systems of record keeping. Along with taking up space in medical offices, paper records are also more difficult to share with patients.
Then came patient portals, which offer people the ability to access medical records and other personal health information digitally. Patient portals are indeed a step up from paper record keeping, but they also have their own issues:
When patients are unable to navigate portals effectively, they can’t fully leverage the power of their medical records. They may also miss errors, which can cause major issues with future diagnoses and treatments.
DrOwl allows users to establish a central hub containing their medical records. Unlike patient portals and their platform incompatibility, our healthcare app is partnered with thousands of providers all over the nation. In addition to private practices, patients can also add data generated by medical staff within the VA and Medicare.
Along with DrOwl’s user-friendly interface, you’ll get a convenient patient summary that quickly and succinctly communicates your health status. We also translate confusing medical terminology into clear, easy to understand language.
