SLUCare Physician Group now offers patients a free, simple way to streamline medical records access through your electronic health record.
Health information exchange gives doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health care providers access to your full medical record, including your medical history, the names and doses of any medications you take, test results and more. This helps providers make better informed treatment decisions, alleviates the burden of requesting medical records, and travels with you should you have an accident or medical emergency away from home.
To sign up, complete a simple form at the registration desk the next time you visit a SLUCare physician.
Are you a veteran? SLUCare and the Veterans Administration (VA) can better coordinate your medical care through the Veterans Health Information Exchange (VHIE), also known as the Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record (VLER) program.* The program allows records to be shared over a secure connection by your SLUCare and VA doctors. No lugging paperwork from one office to another or waiting for records to be faxed. It's a seamless, streamlined way to manage your health.
