MediConnect Global is removing the worry about your medical records and putting the control back into your hands with its consumer driven healthcare initiative.
“In the world today it’s especially hard for people to drive their own healthcare decisions because they don’t have any idea what is written in their healthcare records by their doctors,” said MediConnect CEO, Amy Rees Anderson.

Consumer driven healthcare is the focus of the future for one major reason.
“It gives people control of their information to be able to make better choices for their families,” Anderson said.
Anderson recounts a story of a 90 year old woman who underwent three colonoscopy procedures at three different facilities because the facilities didn’t have her records indicating it had already been preformed. This doesn’t have to be the case.
With Consumer Driven Healthcare you get three key advantages:

1. Control: It gives you control and awareness of your personal health record by providing information like prescriptions, procedures, diagnoses, to prevent potential allergic reactions, or the expense and discomfort of duplicated tests.
2. Access: It gives you access to your medical records 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. This is beneficial in the event of an emergency, when traveling or for selecting different providers.
3. Information: Allows you to make informed decisions for you and your family.

You can retrieve your personal records directly from MediConnect at its Web site (www.mediconnect.net) or through Google Health.  With a few clicks of the mouse you can retrieve your medical records, as well as receive health related information pulled from each record in an easy to read and understand format.

There are two ways to retrieve your records, both from the MediConnect Website (www.mediconnect.net) Mediconnect.net. Click on the “consumer services” and MediConnect will retrieve your records, digitize them into a PDF document and email you when they are ready to be downloaded. You can also retrieve your records by clicking on the Google Health logo on the MediConnect web site.

Your medical records are kept completely safe and confidential. MediConnect is HIPPA complaint.
The ability to access ones medical records is a choice that clearly belongs in your hands.
