"When the paramedics arrive to help you, they grab a wallet or a purse so they'll know who you are," she says. "They do it consistently." When patients arrive in the emergency room, nurses routinely look for their driver's license to locate next of kin".
How about when it's not an emergency?
Keeping a personal health record is important even when you're not in an emergency situation, according to the American Health Information Management Association.
In an emergency situation, you may not be able to speak and give vital information to help alert others concerning your health. Medical providers must sometimes treat accident victims without having any basic medical information about the individual or any way to contact someone who could provide crucial information.
