HEALTHeLINK - Better information means better care
Better information means better care.
It’s about saving lives and saving money!
eHealth is the use of a computer network, instead of paper, to store and manage your medical records.
Many people shop and even pay bills online. Your doctors and other health care providers can use the same type of technology to make better decisions through easier access to your record. Medical histories can be lengthy and detailed, but are extremely important. To provide you with the care you need, your doctor should have quick, easy access to them. Makes sense, right?
eHealth can help reduce harmful drug interactions or drug overdoses by alerting the doctor when a prescription may cause this.
Through this information you can better manage your own health. If there is an emergency your records can be accessed without wasting valuable time.
eHealth also saves money and lives by eliminating unnecessary or duplicate tests and potentially dangerous procedures.
eHealth saves you time so you do not have to fill out the same forms every time you go to a new doctor.
Available right here, right now in WNY through
also known as the Western New York Clinical Information Exchange
which facilitates the use of secure computernetworks instead of paper files to store and manage your medical records.
http://www.wnyhealthelink.com/
Here’s how HEALTHeLINK can help you:
When your records are easily available all in one place, your doctors can get a more complete picture of your health, which helps them to make good decisions about your care.
Backups of your records are made so they will still be available in the event of an emergency or natural disaster.
You can better manage health records for yourself and your family.
Privacy: You have the right to say "YES" or "No" to participation in HEALTHeLINK
Doctors and others involved in your care may see and share your health information through HEALTHeLINK only if you say they can by giving your consent.
Federal and state laws strictly protect the privacy and confidentiality of your health information. New York State is requiring eHealth networks and everyone who uses them to follow the same rules to protect the privacy and security of records shared through this system.
Only health care providers who are involved in your care are allowed to access your health records through HEALTHeLINK and only if you sign a consent form. Others, such as employers and immigration agencies, won’t have access to your information, unless permitted under current law.
You can request a list of everyone who has accessed your records using eHealth. New York State is working to make it possible for everyone to get access to their medical records through eHealth networks.
What’s more, participation is absolutely free, no strings attached.
