Health and medical information; health care
Welcome
to Med-File
In
1999, the National Academy of Sciences, Institute of
Medicine, reported that as many as 44,000 to 98,000 people die in any given year from
medical errors that occur in hospitals more than from motor vehicle accidents,
breast cancer, or AIDS. The report also cited medication-related errors
occurring frequently and incomplete information among patients treated by
multiple providers.
Med-File
was developed by a computer consultant whose sister was diagnosis with multiple
sclerosis, which had developed into a chronic condition. The idea of the medical
portfolio stemmed from a personal experience where a renowned hospital
administered an incorrect medication dosage which resulted in the sister having
a seizure. Med-File, a personal medical portfolio was developed upon the accumulation of ten years of taking
care of a loved one.
It is important that we become responsible for our medical
files because today doctors are seeing too many patients in too little time.
Med-File provides doctors and medical practitioners with the vital information
they need to diagnosis your medical needs and to make a better evaluation.
