"I’ll visit with a patient and their children will hand me a piece of paper that has all the meds, allergies, past medical history....just to have that makes life easier at 2:00 in the morning when you are trying to find out what’s wrong with a patient."
(comments of an emergency room physician)

PHR's will benefit you by:
- Increasing patient control of care and decision making
- Preventing medication errors or adverse drug reactions.
- Minimizing the incidence of allergic reactions.
- Eliminating unnecessary labwork or medical procedures.
- Facilitate sharing of health information to ensure appropriate medical care.
Each year, patients in the United States experience at least 1.5 million preventable injuries due to medication errors, according to the findings of an Institute of Medicine analysis.
The report, released in July, estimated that these preventable adverse drug events would add up to about $3.5 billion in additional hospitalization costs this year.
