Did you know that having regular access to your medical records can help you better manage your health symptoms? When you have access to your health records you can better coordinate, with your doctors by:

• Ensuring urgent care, RMHP doctors and all other providers are updated with any new or updated health information
• Identifying and correcting wrong or missing health information
• Tracking and monitoring your health

The exchange of medical information between health care providers not only allows your health care provider to be educated on what treatment you’ve already received but also better informs them on how to continue your treatment. Providing your previous medical information may help your current health care provider by avoiding duplication of testing and medication errors.

HIPAA regulations currently allow health care providers such as doctors, nurses, hospitals, and laboratories to share a patient’s medical information. This information may include:

• X-ray & imaging
• Laboratory and pathology reports
• Diagnoses
• Additional medical information relating to the treatment
