Will information faxed into my E-File automatically appear on a printout read by an emergency physician?

No. Your PersonalMD file is designed like an electronic fax in-box to ensure that you are in total control over the documents seen by emergency physicians. Only you can decide which medical records you'd like included in the report seen by emergency physicians.

How do I ensure that emergency physicians see documents I'd like them to be able to access?

As soon as you, your physician or pharmacist faxes important data (e.g.: EKGs, x-ray reports, prescription information) into your medical records, the document will appear in the E-File folder tab of your medical records.

You can then move documents into the Emergency Folder by clicking on the box to the left of the documents you would like moved and selecting the emergency folder at the bottom of the page. You also have the option of moving it into other folders to help you manage your medical records.

Can I see an actual printout of the report that will be accessed in an emergency?

Absolutely. We encourage you to review your chart on a regular basis to be sure it includes updated medical information and prescription details. You can view the information on line by clicking on the view report tab in your medical record or have a copy faxed to you. Click here to see how to review your chart.
