Each time your doctor takes a sample of your blood and sends it off to the lab the chances are the lab company electronically sends back your lab results to the doctor’s office. For many patients routine lab will result in data ranges all within normal limits. But for some patients, managing a disease means getting routine blood work and monitoring their lab results. ViewMyHealthRecords.com has released a new feature to make monitoring your lab results simple and effective.
Once your lab work is completed, the lab company will automatically forward the lab results to your healthcare provider. As soon as the lab results are received by your healthcare provider, an email will be sent to you by ViewMyHealthRecords.com to inform you of new lab results available in your health record. In some cases, lab results from the same blood work may be completed over several different days. Each time lab results are updated, you would be contacted via email by ViewMyHealthRecords.com informing you that the lab company has delivered new lab results. As lab results are made available, you are able to access ViewMyHealthRecords.com and view your most current lab results.
With the recent push by the federal government to encourage the adoption of electronic health records, more and more patients are getting involved in helping to manage their own health care; and more and more patients are asking for their test results electronically. ViewMyHealthRecords.com has simplified the task of helping patients monitor their lab results. Lab results are available 24/7 in a secure environment.
As an example: Lab companies offer testing to monitor the glucose control of diabetics over time. The goal of those with diabetes is to keep their blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible. This helps to minimize the complications caused by chronically elevated glucose levels, such as progressive damage to body organs like the kidneys, eyes, cardiovascular system, and nerves. Glucose test results give a picture of the average amount of glucose in the blood over the last few months. This can help the diabetic person and his doctor know if the measures that are being taken to control his diabetes are successful or need to be adjusted. Having access to the lab data “real time” via ViewMyHealthRecords.com can make a huge impact in how a patient and their healthcare provider manage a progressive disease.
It is strongly recommended that each patient take a few minutes (bi-monthly) and access their health records. Please remember that your healthcare provider records all the health information contained in your health records and that ViewMyHealthRecords.com simply provides the access to view your health records online.
