LONG ISLAND, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/07/2012 -- A new article by technology blog DigitalOlympus.com showcases how online PHR (personal health record) services, mobile medicine (medical records and prescriptions by SMS or email) and other health information technology solutions are improving the delivery of life-saving medical treatments in emergencies and crisis situations like the recent hurricane Sandy.

During emergencies or crisis situations, the absence of proper medical equipment or infrastructure is to be expected. In such scenarios, remote access to vital medical information about patients can play a very significant role in treatment, as well as largely influence the outcome of the treatment itself.

Medical histories and health information including prior treatment records, allergy information, drug prescription history, blood work information, and physical data can prove absolutely critical in the determination of appropriate and effective treatments, and can ultimately save a life, or contribute to its loss.

Current Health IT technologies including digital (online) PHR’s can provide the required information from any mobile or fixed terminal within minutes, contributing immensely to the proper and efficient delivery of care in emergency or crisis situations such as the recent hurricane Sandy, which left hundreds dead and possibly thousands injured in its wake.
