A personal note
I discovered this health record service when I was a patient at Lakeridge Hospital in Oshawa. It has proven to be very informative and useful giving me access to many recorded aspect of my health records. In short, it seems to be a full health record and a communication link to my doctors and their messages and appointments with me.
