Security

This service offers security in two important ways:

1. Once you place your PersonalMD-Emergency Card in your wallet, you have the security and confidence of knowing that emergency department physicians can access the important medical data you have provided to give you the most efficient and effective treatment humanly possible.

With this card, you don't need to worry what will happen if you forget to give a physician important information during this extremely stressful time when most patients cannot remember every detail, or don't always know information contained in reports kept by their primary physician's or specialist's offices. The Card becomes even more important when the patient arrives in the emergency department unconscious.

2. PersonalMD.com subscribes to HON (Health on the Net) ethical guidelines that ensure confidentiality of all health information on the Internet.
