Personal Health Record

HCX;s Personal Health Record online, simplifies the maintenance, access and reference of our medical history. PHRs of individuals or families can be maintained online. The PHR is a vast repository of information comprising the patient’s personal details and his/her medical history that includes information regarding previous surgeries or medical conditions, medication history, the treatment, emergency contact details, hospitalization history, allergies, blood group and so on. The PHR also acts as your personal assistant by sending your SMS and email alerts on your doctor’s appointments, or any lab tests that are due or even a booster dose of vaccinations that you need your children to take.

HCX’s web-based PHR is safe, trustworthy and can be accessed only by the user who creates the account. The ease-of-use and convenience of the PHR while simplifying the maintenance of important and confidential medical information of the user can also be used, in extreme emergencies, by a trusted and known person affiliated to the user. There may be instances when the user would be unable to access his account. However, if the user has consented to give access to his/ her PHR to a trusted confidante or known relative/ friend or family, this PHR could be shared by the healthcare facility or physician treating him.
