Since January 15, 2019, you have by default access to the content of your health summary (SumEHR = Summarized Electronic Health Record) shared by your general practitioner, unless they have changed the access settings.

This emergency medical summary, as its name suggests, is a summary of your electronic health record. It typically includes:

• • Allergies

  • Vaccination data

  • Active medication

  • Medications to avoid

  • Social factors

  • Possible family medical history

  • Emergency contact person

  • Patient wishes

  • etc.

Healthcare providers you consult usually create a therapeutic relationship with you through their software.
