Create your own personal health record

Have you heard of digital personal health records?  I learned about them from a great Website, www.myphr.com.  They are exactly what they sound like — a record of your health that you can store and maintain yourself on your computer.  Your digital personal health record can include a wide range of information related to your health history, such as conditions you have been diagnosed with, past and current treatments/medications, opinions of specialists, results of past physicals, diet and exercise regimens, links to relevant health information… and a whole lot more.  What a great way to stay on top of your healthcare, and to help you to communicate with your healthcare providers, especially if you are being treated by more than one physician.  Making this information available to your doctors can save your life!   While this sounds like a lot of info to gather, you don’t have to do it at once.  Check out www.myphr.com to help you get started.
