What does VHR mean in HEALTHCARE

A virtual health record (VHR) is an electronic, easily accessible record of a patient's medical history and current health status maintained by healthcare providers. The virtual record provides secure access to a patient's medical information and data from virtually anywhere, enabling healthcare providers to make informed decisions about diagnosis and treatment plans.

Using a VHR system can benefit both healthcare professionals and patients. For healthcare professionals, it enables them to quickly access pertinent medical information that may be spread out over multiple care settings. For patients, it allows them to keep track of their health records in real time with the assurance that their private data is secure.

You must be registered with one or more healthcare organizations in order to gain access to your VHR. Once you are registered, the organization will provide you with a user name and password which can be used to log into the system and view your records.

Your VHR data is highly secure using bank-level encryption protocols in order to protect your personal information from being compromised or accessed by unauthorized persons. All of your data is stored on encrypted servers that are physically inaccessible unless you have authorized permission from the organization hosting the system.

You can store all types of health-related records such as laboratory results, medication lists, immunizations, imaging studies, physician notes, vital signs and other relevant clinical documentation within your VHR. Additionally, many systems allow for the exchange of information between patients and providers through secure messaging platforms.

Access rights for viewing your VHR are controlled by the organization providing technical support for the system. Generally speaking though, only authorized healthcare professionals who are providing services directly related to your care have permission to view your records within the system.

All you need is an internet connection in order to log into the VHR system from any device with an appropriate web browser installed. Depending on the particular system you use there may also be additional downloads required in order for enhanced functionality such as message exchange or video conferencing capabilities.

Generally speaking no - most systems offering virtual health records are free for users or have nominal fees associated with their usage (such as for storage). However some organizations charge subscription fees if you plan on utilizing more sophisticated features such as telemedicine or remote monitoring capabilities that many larger systems offer these days.

Yes - most platforms allow users to export their medical data into industry standard formats such as PDFs so they can share this information with other physicians or use it as part of insurance claims processes.

You should contact either the institution hosting the system or technical support personnel associated with it in order to reset your login credentials.
