Web-based medical records service provides fast, secure transfer of data in emergencies

BOCA RATON, FLORIDA, Feb. 15 -/E-Wire/-- Serious accidents and diverse medical emergencies are everyday facts of life. And, since people see more doctors and specialists today, their medical histories tend to be scattered and incomplete. This is an increasingly critical concern when people and their families are far from home, injured in accidents or suffering from serious illnesses.

When EMS, police or fire/rescue teams arrive on the scene to treat heart attack victims, people injured in vehicular accidents, industrial mishaps or any medical emergency, they need to know a person's medical history so they can begin immediate and effective treatment without compromising a victim's existing health conditions. This quick assessment and reaction time can often make a difference between life and death.

EMR's growing impact To address this critical need for instantaneous and up-to-date medical and legal information, Access My Records LLC (AMR), a Boca Raton-based company, has developed AccessMyRecords.comsm, which is becoming a leader in the emerging computer-based EMR (electronic medical records) industry. The service allows emergency responders to obtain, in an instant, a person's health and legal profile/history by using the Internet or calling a toll free number. Using an AccessIDSM code and a person's name, a secure "read only" file will detail the important information for an emergency responder to administer proper treatment.

Typically, a personal health summary profile will include: emergency contacts; doctors; allergies; medications; past surgeries; medical history; implanted devices; insurance information; health care power of attorney; living will; and DNR order. This is just some of the information that can be stored and retrieved using this service.

The health care industry believes that computer-based medical information services, hold great potential for improving the quality and delivery of care, especially in emergencies when timely access to a person's health profile is critical.

"Our service works as well in non-emergency situations such as visits to a doctor's office or to the pharmacy," said Leonard Tambasco, AMR's managing member. "While having one's information universally available for health care professionals is the hope of the future, AccessMyRecords.comsm is making it happen now, 24/7, at any time and from anywhere in the world."

About AccessMyRecords.coms AccessMyRecords.comsm is the premier online service to store, organize and retrieve medical and legal information. The company's mission is to prepare, protect and help save lives, enabling emergency responders to have fast, easy access to members' medical and legal information so they can safely and rapidly administer proper treatment.

AccessMyRecords.comsm provides its members with an AccessIDsm card, key tag and window decal, giving medical personnel the ability to access the members' read-only summary profile directly through the Internet or by call to a toll free number.
