MEDIBOOK™ ENSURES ACCURATE AND VITAL HEALTH RECORD

One seldom knows when treatment will be required for an illness or injury. Matters can become complicated if health information is scattered across many different providers and facilities.

The Medibook™ secure repository addressed this challenge by enabling its members to automatically consolidate their health information from providers and to set-up, review and manage their Personal Health Record, which may be securely accessed and updated at any time.

By maintaining your own updated and easily accessible health record, a person can ensure that the right information will be available when it is required by healthcare providers.

“Whether you change funders or physicians, or are managing a chronic disease or condition such as diabetes or hypertension, keeping control over your own personal health record ensures that you and your family will have vital information at your fingertips. By gathering your health information into Medibook™, you create a personal health record that you control. You also control who has access to your Medibook™ information”.

Using your Medibook™ Health Record you can:

• Manage your own and your family’s personal health record on-line and control who has access to this health information.
• Communicate vital information to medical personnel in emergency situations when you can’t speak for yourself.
• Automatically SMS your loved ones when your emergency details are accessed.
• Store your information securely and confidentially and access this information from your computer or phone, from any location, at any time.
• Have complete and accurate information at your fingertips when consulting new healthcare providers.
