Why Is it Important to Keep Personal Copies of Medical Records?
Keeping personal copies of medical records is important for: - Continuity of care when switching healthcare providers - Personal reference and tracking of health history - Legal purposes, such as in case of disputes over treatment or insurance claims
In summary, obtaining and reviewing medical records is a fundamental aspect of managing cancer care. Patients should actively engage in this process to ensure their health history is accurate, complete, and readily available for ongoing treatment and care coordination.
