The shared medical record (DMP) is a secure storage space for your health data.
The DMP allows you to store and share health documents with the professionals of your choice.
DMP power supply
Healthcare professionals and institutions can feed and consult the DMP of their patients.
A healthcare professional must include the following documents in the DMP:
- Report of medical biology examinations
- Medical synthesis component carried out by the attending physician at least once a year
- Hospital discharge documents
- Prescription of health products
- Surgical report
- Prescription of physiotherapy, nursing, pedicuria, speech therapy and orthoptic procedures (screening, rehabilitation, rehabilitation and exploration of visual function)
- Request for radiology examination
- Letters and correspondence to a healthcare professional.
This obligation to put these documents in the DMP does not concern not the prescription produced in the context of a hospital stay.
FYI
The DMP does not replace the medical record that a professional keeps for his patient locally.
It centralizes all your medical data so that you can systematically access your important documents and take control of your health.
Consultation of the DMP
You and the professionals you have authorized access to and your healthcare team members can access your DMP.
In addition, digital health services and tools referenced in My health space that you have specifically authorized will also be able to access it.
In case of emergency, the healthcare professionals and the regulating doctor of the Samu center 15 can access your DMP, unless you object.
Please note
A minor may request that certain data not be accessible to his parents. For this purpose, it is addressed to the health professional or institution that supplies its DMP.
It is integrated with My health space whose creation is automatic, unless you object.
Indeed, you receive from the Health Insurance an email or a letter informing you of its opening.
So you automatically find your data.
You can object to the automatic creation of My health space within 6 weeks from the sending of the email or mail.
The feeding, consultation and use of the DMP are done under the same conditions as before (for example, only authorized professionals can pay and consult data).
At the end of 2022, a new letter or email was sent to you to confirm or not your opposition to the creation of your My Health Area.
In case of new opposition, your DMP is automatically closed.
During your 1era login, you must use a PIN sent by the Health Insurance.
