Today, about 75 percent of providers keep records electronically. But patients still may have trouble accessing their records when it matters most: in the middle of crisis and recovery.

IF YOU ARE…

Planning ahead for a disaster.

“When most hear the words ‘emergency preparedness’ a large scale catastrophic event comes to mind; an earthquake, a tornado, the loss of the power grid, or even someone’s favorite Hollywood doomsday scenario.

While all those meet the definition, the truth is an emergency can be a family member falling down the stairs. Knowing what to do before emergency services arrives can save their lives because each of us are our own first responders.

You need to prepare when everything is fine……you may need attention or just normal follow-up.”
