What is Patient Data Quick?
All of your medical records, at your fingertips
What if you had every detail of your healthcare history – all your medical records from every doctor you’ve visited – in one place. That’s called a universal record.
Patient Data Quick makes it easy to create and manage your own universal record, so you never have to hunt down medical records for yourself, your child, or an aging parent, ever again.
Why create a universal medical record?
Your doctors need to see the whole picture, not just the piece they own.
Every healthcare provider you’ve ever visited has a piece of your medical record. It contains your diagnoses, treatments, prescriptions, procedures, notes… They typically don’t share your records with your other providers unless you request it.
For example, your primary care doctor may have copies of your records from some of the specialists you’ve seen, but those specialists only have records of the care they provide in their own office.
Your medical record legally belongs to the providers you visit, but you are entitled to a copy through HIPAA. When you put all of those copies together, you get a comprehensive collection of all your medical records in one place. That solves a lot of common problems:
- Correcting errors quickly, before potentially fatal results
- Starting a new job, with new insurance, and new health providers
- Providing proof of vaccinations for a child starting school
- Keeping track of complex care for an aging relative or a sick spouse Accessing important medical details in the emergency room
Most of all, having access to a universal record helps you and all your healthcare providers make faster, more informed decisions about your car

In this survey study of 136 815 patients, 29 656 provided a response, and 1 in 5 patients who read a note reported finding a mistake and 40% perceived the mistake as serious. Among patient-reported very serious errors, the most common characterizations were mistakes in diagnoses, medical history, medications, physical examination, test results, notes on the wrong patient, and sidedness. – National Institute of Health
