and policy number.
Problem List-A list of significant illnesses and operations you have had.
Medication Record-A list of medicines
prescribed or given to you. This form often lists any medication allergies you may have.

any major illnesses and surgeries you have had, any significant family history of disease, your health habits, and current medications.
It also states what the physician found when he examined you.
Progress Notes-Notes made by the doctors, nurses, therapists, and social
workers caring for you that reflect your response to treatment, their observations and plans for continued treatment.
Consultation-An
opinion about your condition made by a physician other than your primary care physician. Sometimes a consultation is performed because
your physician would like the advice and counsel of another physician.
Physician's Orders-Your physician's directions to other members
of the healthcare team regarding your medication's, tests, diets, and treatments.
Imaging and X-ray Reports-Describe the findings
of x-rays, mammograms, ultrasounds, and scans. The actual films are maintained in the radiology or imaging departments or on a computer.
Lab Reports-Describe the results of tests conducted on body fluids. Common examples include a throat culture, urinalysis, cholesterol
level, and complete blood count (CBC). Surprisingly, your health record does not usually contain your blood type. Blood typing is
not part of routine lab work.
Immunization Record-A form documenting immunizations given for disease such as polio, measles, mumps,
rubella, and the flu. Parents should maintain a copy of their children's immunization records with other important papers.
Consent and Authorization Forms-Copies of consents for admission, treatment, surgery, and release of information.
Each of these files can be scanned into you personal health repository and accessed at any time from any location.
