What is included when I request my records?

PocketHealth — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 05:05:39 +0000

All of the imaging in the exam(s) you have requested will be included in your record in their original diagnostic format (DICOM). These images also include a number of embedded attributes (e.g., date of exam, body part, patient identifier, etc.) that make up an important and essential part of your imaging record. You should also receive the typed radiologist report for the exams as well, though on rare occasion this may not be possible due to the individual policy of the imaging provider that transferred your imaging record.

What should I do if my report is marked “Not available”?

PocketHealth — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 05:00:40 +0000

Depending on the release of information policy at your imaging centre, your report may not be available through PocketHealth. Some imaging centers may require that your typed radiologist report needs to be released to you directly by your referring physician. If that is the case, please visit your referring physician to receive a copy of your report for your files.

How do I view my records from a different region?

PocketHealth — Thu, 13 Jan 2022 16:53:34 +0000

For safety and security, records are stored on a server in the country where a healthcare institution is based. This means that if you’ve had imaging completed in both Canada and in the USA, your account will have two regions. You will need to switch between regions in your account to access your records across both countries.

If you would like to view your imaging records from a different region:

1. Desktop: Click on user button with your name at the top right

or Mobile: Click on menu button at the top right

2. Click on “Region”

3. Click on the region you’d like to switch to

4. Access all of your imaging records from healthcare institutions based in that chosen region.

Can I view my imaging records if I’m part of a research study?

During research studies, anonymous identifiers are used to protect individual privacy and confidentiality. As a result, we are unable to access or share imaging records from research studies. This practice ensures that your personal information is safeguarded so researchers can analyze and draw conclusions from the collective data.
