When it comes to healthcare, we as patients have certain expectations. Simply put, we want our doctors to really listen to us, and we want them to treat what ails us properly so we can get well again.
This should be simple enough. After all, this is what doctors do – they treat us. It’s why they went into the profession in the first place.
But, this doesn’t always happen. Sometimes, we don’t get the treatment we need, which is frustrating. What’s going on?
Problem – Doctors Don’t Have All Our Records
One of the biggest reasons our doctors may not treat us properly is that they don’t have all our records. They have their records for us, but not our records from our other doctors, so they don’t have a complete picture of our health issues.
As a result, doctors may inadvertently commit costly “medical errors” that make us sicker, and order unnecessary visits, tests, or procedures, which increase the number or encounters and the cost of care.
The solution is to find a way to make it easy for our doctors to view our records.
Solution – Make it Easy for Them
We have such a solution. It’s simple, very easy to use and inexpensive. It’s called MedKaz®.
MedKaz assembles our complete record from all our providers, and the application to manage it, in one place – on a MedKaz mini drive – which we own, carry on our keyring, and share with our doctors in the exam room.
At the start of a visit, MedKaz generates a Health Summary and other important information, which saves them time getting up to date with our issues.
Next, they examine us, and when they need to know more about our issues and the care we are receiving or have received from other doctors, they instantly search our MedKaz for more information.
It’s simple-but-powerful, secure, affordable, easy to use even by tech-challenged seniors, and makes it easy for our doctors to access our complete record.
