My Health Record is a digital health record that can keep your important health information like any allergies, medical conditions, treatments and medicines all in one place online.
Ontario Medical Clinic believes having a My Health Record can help you and your clinicians better manage your care over time. When you’re being seen and treated by different healthcare providers, it can be challenging to keep track of all your health information. My Health Record is a secure online summary of your important health information, making it easier for the health professionals involved in your care to make decisions about your care.
My Health Record travels with you, so you don’t need to worry about remembering and repeating all of your medical history. It also allows for faster administering of appropriate healthcare which can be especially important in an emergency. There is even a private section of the My Health Record where you can add your own personal health notes that won’t be seen by any health professionals – like a private health diary.
Just as other technologies have revolutionised the way we manage our lives, having a My Health Record has the potential to change how we manage our health care.
