Most People's Health Histories are in Many Places

Do you have your own complete health history? Probably not.

Have you told your family and personal history to many physicians during your lifetime so far? Most people have.

Are you tired of telling your story repeatedly? Most likely.

Do you feel the questions asked about your history leave out much of your history? Most probably. Most people feel they have more to say, but there is not enough time to tell their story.

Is your history on file in many doctor offices and intuitions? Most likely.

Have any of those histories been given to you? Probably never.

Has your history been taken verbally most of the time? Most histories are collected verbally during a physician-patient interview. In some situations some doctors are starting to use computer software to collect histories, although still not the norm. Studies suggest, "physicians using electronic health records preferentially structure interviews around data-gathering demands rather than patients’ own narrated accounts". ^{[1] [2]} This results in lost opportunities for gathering your history
