Electronic Health Records: Vital Information at Your Caregivers’ Fingertips

Think of the way technology has put more information at our fingertips. It helps us make better decisions more quickly. Mercy’s electronic health record system gives your health information the same availability – your allergies, medicine, health history and previous treatments are readily available to Mercy caregivers every place that care may be provided. And with MyMercy, your can be more connected to your health information and your doctor any time of day or night.

Mercy is pleased to be in the top 6% of all health care organizations in the United States who are effectively using a comprehensive integrated electronic system because we can provide you a better experience. Our electronic health record system is available today in most Mercy locations. Here are just a few of the benefits:

• Easily access your own test results and other health information on MyMercy, using your computer or Internet-enabled phone, any time of the day or night.
• Your doctor can quickly see if you’re up-to-date on your immunizations or preventive diagnostic tests, like mammograms or prostate exams, and you can receive automated reminders to keep you on track.
• No unnecessary testing because Mercy physicians who coordinate your care can see it has already been completed – and they can review the results, too. If new information becomes available about a medication you take, your doctor can quickly notify you to discuss your options.
• In case of an emergency, authorized caregivers can access your health information – even if you’re not able to speak for yourself.
