What is an electronic medical record (EMR)?
An EMR is a computerized version of your medical record that will include your medical history, contact and insurance information.
Will I have to provide my personal information every time I visit Osceola Medical Center?
No. You will not have to provide your complete history at each visit. Once you provide your medical history, contact and insurance information at your first visit after implementation, it will become part of your electronic medical record. At future visits you will simply have to verify that your information is correct, which you can complete online prior to your appointment.
