Organizing Your Medical Records Is Key For Patients With Chronic Health Conditions.
Patients with Chronic Conditions see many health providers that may not have access to a shared network. Specialists are not up to date in your basic primary care health issues. Primary care providers may not know enough about treatment options to advise their patients. Patients who are pro-active in managing their complete health care and medical records have better quality of care.
Patients that are dealing with a chronic health condition will most likely interact with many health care providers. Because your medical history is spread out among your entire medical team, keeping your own updated medical record will help you play an active, informed role in your care. Every time you visit your Doctor or pay a visit to a clinic or hospital, they may require you to complete forms. Writing the same information over and over again. This is Frustrating, time consuming and may not necessarily be accurate because you have forgotten important details about your medical history, such as Surgeries, Medications and dates for all these vital pieces of data about you. Knowing your medical history allows you to share accurate information with new doctors.
When first collecting all your medical information you should start by asking for a copy of your most recent records every time you visit a health provider or a medical facility. Most medical offices charge a fee for copies of your medical record. So it’s best to ask for copies of reports, doctor notes, test results and all relevant records during your medical appointment. By asking for your records while you are at your appointment is likely you will not be charged.
Here are just some of the benefits of managing and organizing your own medical records.
•Stress reduction when filling out hospital and medical forms - saving time, frustration and costly mistakes.
•Quality health information readily available at all points of care, reducing delays in treatment.
•Providing health professionals a consistent and complete understanding of your health condition, avoiding unnecessary treatments and adverse reactions, such as harmful prescription drug interactions.
•Reducing unnecessary duplication of expensive diagnostic tests, including lab work.
While electronic medical records are useful and being used more widely in Physician and hospital settings. You cannot carry them with you. Most Electronic Medical Records that are in place today can only be accessed by the individual Physician’s or Hospital facility, not across a shared network of physicians. And until such time that patient’s personal medical information can be shared over a secure network platform, it is up to the patient to be responsible for there own health care, and to take an active role in there overall medical record and treatment care.

Travel Safe This Summer Chronic Condition Patients Don’t Have To Be Confined
Just because a person has been diagnosed with a chronic health condition such as Cancer, Diabetes or a Cardiac related illness doesn’t mean they have to stay confined to their home. Patients need to see variation in their environment and be able to relax.
Before traveling, always ask your physician if it is safe for you to travel. Patients should always plan there trips where they will not miss any scheduled treatments.
Patients should always bring enough supply of medications for the entire travel duration. Patients should also keep in mind that certain drug’s pharmacological name is always the same but brand name may change depending on the country they are visiting. With this in mind, it is always important to keep the medication in their original bottle or packaging to make it easier to find a similar drug in case of needing to buy more.
If a patient has an alert bracelet or a necklace with an inscription of their medical condition, it is always wise to wear it every time on there trip. This bracelet is usually given to patients with diabetes and allergies as well.
When planning travel destinations, patients should call their insurance agent to check if their policy covers medical costs in other states or overseas. You may need to pay a minor extra premium. Find out what documentation will be needed should the patient or a family member need to seek medical attention while traveling.
Carrying your medical records with you on your trip in a Medical Organizer will help in the case an emergency. Having a Medical Organizer filled in with up-to-date medical information will aid physicians on how to proceed with your case, as it serves as a vital source of information regarding your current health condition and any related treatment process the patient is currently under.

Specific Medical Organizer Is More Than A Medical Record Keeping System.
Specific Medical Organizer Is More Than A Medical Record Keeping System.
By giving patients control over their health care, offers more selectivity in sharing of personal health information. Correcting inaccuracies and encouraging better medical record keeping and improving patient-physician communication, better quality care and increasing trust.
Tracking and monitoring one’s own Personal health records offer a number of potential benefits to patients, their physicians and everyone involved in the patient’s medical care.
To avert unnecessary tests, procedures, and avoidable complications, patients should keep their own medical records through the use of a personal medical organizer. Patients need to be informed about their own health; more importantly, if any mistake is made, the patient is the one that suffers! So it behooves the patient to reduce the chances of that happening by ensuring everyone involved in their healthcare has full and complete information.
Benefits of using a Specialized Medical Organizer include...
- Medical Organizers that are tailored specifically to a chronic health condition empowers patients to verify the information in their medical record and monitor health data about themselves.
- Medical Organizers improve communication between patients and health care providers, allows documentation of interactions with patients and convey timely explanations of test results.
- Medical Organizers track a patient’s current medications, and potential drug interactions can be considered if current medications are known. Adverse reactions need not be repeated if they are made known to your doctor.
- Medical Organizers give patients and health care providers current access to updated care plans.
- Medical Organizers allow continuous, comprehensive care with better coordination between patients, physicians and other providers.
- Medical Organizers provide more efficient and quality delivery of care. Decreases duplicate testing and unnecessary services.
With our ever evolving health care system patients are encouraged to be more pro-active in monitoring their medical care. Medical records that are accurate and up-to-date must be a shared responsibility.

Specialized Medical Organizers for Health Condiions & Treatment Stages
Medical Organizers For Disease Management & Treatment Stages
Amber Bowden, Owner of MedTrakker™, a home based business for publishing and distributing, has once again taken my creative, innovative, entrepreneurial spirit, and created more than the 'Cancer Medical Organizer'. I have created several more organizers specific to many different areas of health concerns that seem to plague our population, as well as one that is universal and can be used by anyone.
After a person hears the news that they have a terminal health condition, their life is turned into a whirlwind of lab tests, procedures, possible surgeries, doctor appointments, medical claims and pharmacy runs. Thus, the first version of the MedTrakker©Cancer Organizer came into existence.
Since then, I developed an expertise on what is currently required in the area of medical records. My experiences from caring for family members with Cancer, Diabetes and Heart related illnesses have contributed to my proficiency. I have consulted with Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Business Professionals and Patients, all of whom made suggestions for the individual organizers.
MedTrakker offers three Specialized Medical Organizers for Specific Health Conditions… Additionally we also offer A Universal Medical Organizer for consumers that are not dealing with a special health condition but would find this Trakker adaptable for managing their Medical history.
●Cancer Trakker ●Diabetes Trakker ●Cardiac Trakker ●Universal Trakker
What are the benefits of having a MedTrakker...
- Offers the convenience of having relevant medical details centralized in one location.
- Manage information relating to conditions, allergies, emergency information, provider visits, procedures, medications, and more.
- Having up-to-date information in your medical organizer provides current and accurate information to health providers and their care givers.
- Potential drug interactions can be considered if current medications are known, and previous adverse reactions need not be repeated if they are made known to your doctor.
- Make emergency information available to medical providers by carrying it with you.
- If you are traveling and have to go to a hospital in an emergency, a physician can more quickly assess a patient when provided with relevant medical details.
Consumers can customize their MedTrakker Medical Organizer by choosing from a variety of picture categories for the front of their MedTrakker.
