Magnus Health Portal is a secure, web-based Personal Health Record enabling individuals and families access and manage their important medical information. Members are able to keep personal health information organized in one location available anytime, anywhere with no hardware or software to install. Magnus was founded with the mission to provide every individual with the tools to understand, manage and improve their health and healthcare.
Magnus members can upload or fax copies of medical records from their doctors or choose to have their medical records collected on their behalf. Important health information such as allergies, prescriptions and medical history can be documented and stored. For emergencies, members carry a wallet card that accesses information for those who need it. Finally, members can complete an annual health risk assessment, research health topics, track medications, and track important health statistics such as cholesterol, blood pressure and body mass index.
Magnus Health Portal was formed in 2006 with the intent of improving healthcare by allowing patients the ability to create and share their personal health records with healthcare professionals. A Radiation Oncologist from Raleigh, NC conceived the idea of an online safe deposit box for all of a patient’s records. One day a patient came to him with his complete medical record scanned onto a CD. The treatment was able to quickly take a direct and pointed approach to that specific patient because the doctor was able to see his entire medical history. No time was lost waiting for other practices to collect and send records for the physician to review. More importantly, the patient was actively involved in the decision making of his own treatment.
