Electronic Transfer Of My Imaging To A Permanent Repository
[ Wednesday June 19th 2019 at 8:15 pm ]
My local hospital patient relations department gave me a very good suggestion: To use a permanent imaging repository so I will always have access to my imaging (x-ray, MRI, ultrasound and nuclear medicine). This is opposed to the 10 year life span required by my local hospital.
This makes perfect sense to me. With my physical disability the old imaging will help measure the rate of arthritis deterioration I experience. It will also help share my medical history with the various doctors and health care professionals I encounter going forward in my health care journey.
I also have the will to travel. Having my imaging accessible online means if I need to attend a health care facility as I travel I will be able to get the help I need without paying for unnecessary testing.
