SMRTNET, which stands for Secure Medical Records Transfer Network, is
a system designed to improve your participation in your own health care, improve your medical safety, save you time, and potentially decrease some of your medical expenses. All of these services are offered to you at no charge.
SMRTNET does this by allowing health information, which is in various paper and electronic medical records, to be electronically combined in one place so you and your providers can see all of your medical history at the same time. This is important in emergencies when getting your combined health information can be vital. You can also add to and monitor your own care electronically if you wish. SMRTNET is especially important for prescriptions. This network allows your provider to use electronic prescribing. Eprescribing makes sure that the spelling of prescriptions is correct, the dosage is correct, and the best and least expensive medication is available for your health requirements.
