Improving Access to Imaging Records

A recent Globe and Mail article explores why streamlining access to medical records is so important, and how today’s fragmented systems are creating real challenges for both patients and providers.

The piece shares stories that underscore the impact of limited information flow in healthcare. From a caregiver who accessed critical test results too late, to providers who must retype faxes or repeat tests due to inaccessible imaging, the examples highlight how today’s systems – while digitized – often lack the connectivity needed to support timely, coordinated care.

In the article, PocketHealth Co-Founder and CEO Rishi Nayyar shares how PocketHealth is helping address these challenges by enabling patients to securely access, share, and better understand their imaging records – supporting more informed decision-making and communication across the care journey.

A few takeaways from the article:

• 95% of physicians use EMRs, yet only 29% can share information outside their practice
• 73% of providers cite poor integration as a barrier to effective care
