The UMED Mission
It is our mission to offer real value to our customers by providing timely access to their medical records, in order to:
- Ensure immediate, accurate and complete medical histories in any emergency, at any time, anywhere in the world – reducing life-threatening delays, costly duplicate tests and avoidable complications.
- Assist in the care of the chronically ill by providing physicians and caregivers with one-stop access to a patient's complete medical records.
In today's healthcare marketplace your medical records are scattered among your physicians, specialists, hospitals, and insurance companies. Without your complete medical records physicians and emergency medical professionals can make errors in your treatment such as:.
- Prescribing medications to which you are allergic.
- Prescribing medications that react toxically with another medication you are taking.
- Misdiagnosing your condition because of symptoms related to a chronic illness (i.e. diabetes) that you are managing.
- Delays and additional costs associated with duplicate tests. For example, your physician might test you for a medical condition that your records would indicate you have already been tested for recently.
UMED collects your complete medical history and stores it in our secure, confidential database where you or your emergency physician can access it through a toll-free call to our nurse-staffed call centre. UMED can speed treatment, prevent complications and duplicate tests, and even save your life! MORE> |
