I’ve frequently discussed the critical need to computerize medical records as a caregiver. Over the years, my ability to simply take a disc out of my ‘man purse’ while accompanying Patti on an appointment to share some previous test result, etc on a physician’s PC has not only saved time and money but improved the quality of Patti’s appointments especially with specialists. While recently reading some related articles I learned about a site that even offers personal health record ‘tools’ both for free and download purchase. I can’t endorse one way or another as I’ve never tried these products but I know some people like “forms” and “tools”. You can check it out at

great information to have, Patrick. I know it is of utmost importance for physicians to have access to all medical records of a patient
