Why Medical Records Transfer Matters for Better Healthcare
To enjoy safe and effective healthcare, it is imperative to keep your medical records updated. In case you are transferring to a new GP or signing up for Appin Medical Centre, asking for a transfer of your medical records will help your new GP have access to your patient health summary, past medical records, and treatments done.
Having all your medical records will enable your GP to make well-informed decisions regarding your health, monitor your current illnesses, and ensure no repeat testing occurs. With your permission, your previous medical practice can send your medical records via post, fax, secure email, or encrypted file transfer. Please take into consideration that pathologies, imaging and correspondence should be directly requested from the relevant party.
At Appin Medical Centre, ensuring confidentiality is among our major priorities when it comes to medical records transfers.
