Abstract
As it celebrates the 35th anniversary of its founding, the Canadian MedicAlert Foundation wants to educate patients about the importance of using genuine MedicAlert bracelets, or idents, that give physicians access to medical information in emergency situations through a toll-free hot line. The foundation also wants physicians to ensure that patients' medical records contain accurate and up-to-date information.
