HealthLynked Corp. Announces Software Update Allowing Users Complete Control of Medical Record Sharing and Access


NAPLES, Fla., April 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB:HLYK) today announced release of its access control panel feature. A key service to members of the HealthLynked Network is the ability to share of their Personal Health Records with the healthcare providers they choose. HealthLynked’s access control software allows users to control who can access their medical information, including: their HealthLynked medical profile summary page, personal medical record archive, the ability to request personal health records from their providers, and more.

Access can be limited to “view only” or a user can grant full edit capabilities to their healthcare providers and healthcare surrogates in order to add, delete, and/or edit their medical information. This allows HealthLynked Network users to assure that their medical information is up to date and accurate.  Medical record access is also controlled at the level of each record and time parameters can be established as an additional level of security.

HealthLynked CEO Dr. Michael Dent stated, “The access control software allows our users the unique ability to take full control of their medical information.  A user can control who can access, edit and add information to their HealthLynked profile and Personal Health Record.  The access control software operates to keep the patient in charge of their medical information while at the same time allowing healthcare providers and healthcare surrogates to maintain the most up-to-date information on behalf of the patient.” Dr. Dent went on to say “Having practiced for over 20 years, I am aware of the need for patients and physicians to share sensitive medical information and maintain privacy. The HealthLynked personal health record system allows patients and their healthcare providers to work together to assure the efficient exchange of medical information and improving healthcare for all our members.”
