[Video]: Understanding everything about the shared medical record (DMP)

After a phase of experimentation, DMP is now available everywhere in France. It is not mandatory and has no impact on your reimbursements.By simplifying and securing the sharing of health information useful to your care, the DMP promotes the coordination and quality of care between all health professionals, even in the hospital, especially by avoiding redundant acts, risks of anesthesia accidents or dangerous drug interactions.

This service allows you to find in the same place:

• your health care history for the last 24 months automatically populated by Health Insurance;
• your test results (x-rays, laboratory tests, etc.);
• your medical history (pathology, allergies...);
• your hospital records;
• the contact details of your loved ones to be notified in case of an emergency;
• your advance directives for your end of life (from April 2019).

Who is involved?

Every person in a social security scheme can create a DMP for himself or his child.

DMP is particularly useful for people who are often in care, such as patients with chronic disease, older people, or pregnant women.

How do I create it?

• Online, directly from https://www.dmp.fr/patient/creation/etape1 ;
• In pharmacies or with a health care practitioner equipped with appropriate computer tools;
• At the reception of your Primary Health Insurance Fund or with an advisor of your health insurance organization.

Once created, your DMP is accessible at any time from the dmp.fr website (My DMP section) or via the downloadable DMP mobile application for iOS and Android systems.
