Start Your Own Personal Health Record

 

MY PERSONAL HEALTH RECORD (PHR) STARTER KIT

 

 

 

Premier Medical Group of Mississippi is pleased to offer a Starter Kit for patients interested in recording their personal health journey. As patient travel more and more across provider lines and across geographic locations, our hope is that the PHR Starter Kit will be a rich, and potentially lifesaving, source of health information.

This Starter Kit is intended to provide a basic healthcare history outline, from which a concise personal health record may be developed. Our philosophy is that optimal healthcare is directly related to a caregiver’s ability to have ready access to accurate, pertinent healthcare information.

With this in mind, the PHR Starter Kit begins with the following questionnaire designed to provide any clinician with basic information needed to evaluate a patient:
