MedicAlert Data Sources

Medicalert sources it's data from a range of providers, it's reviewed for duplicates and accuracy, coded against Snomed CT and then rated for severity and criticality.

A member can review their record on the MedicAlert Member Portal and their provider can review and update it on the MedicAlert Provider portal.

All information is tagged with the system and person it's provided by. If the system provides a unique id for the resource, it's stored and used for data integrity. If a system doesn't provide unique ids or there is multiple sources, the record is managed by their SnomedCT code, last updated time, and through manual review.
