What kind of information is registered?
You may include as much, or as little, as you wish. Typically, you might include information on illnesses, medications, surgeries, allergies and special needs. However, when a hospital has more comprehensive medical information, it can provide treatment more safely and effectively, especially in cases of severe allergies or special conditions.

Who beside myself should have access to my medical records?
Family members, caregivers and close friends - whomever you choose - and, of course, if you are ill or injured, accredited hospitals.

What is an "accredited hospital"?
Accreditation by the Joint Commission (JCAHO) is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality indicating that an organization meets certain performance standards. Because these standards reflect state-of-the-art performance expectations, organizations meeting these standards improve their ability to provide quality patient care. Healthcare organizations seek Joint Commission accreditation primarily as a means to enhance organization performance.
