Simcoe MedAlert

Description

As MedAlert professionals, we will document your critical medical information on a compact digital storage device making your information easily available in case of an emergency.
Our goal is to foster and improve patient care, reduce medical errors and assure at least a minimum standard of health information is available when a patient is seen by a first responder or other provider. Your medical history information is an important first step to ensuring an accurate diagnosis and proper care in an emergency. In an emergency, medical personnel have only seconds to diagnose your needs and begin lifesaving procedures. Unfortunately, patients are often incapacitated and can not communicate their special needs in an emergency and are subject to an increased risk of medical errors. In an emergency, healthcare providers must either start from scratch or act blindly because they do not have the patients medical information, relevant past history, allergies, or medications. MedAlert allows quality of care to be improved, as patients and doctors benefit from immediate access to the patients emergency information, allowing all parties to avoid the sometimes dangerous duplication of medications and other errors associated with incomplete information.
