A method for accessing a person's medical information in an emergency, the medical information stored in a database of a medical records system includes calling an emergency telephone number; entering an access code to access the medical records system; receiving a prerecorded message reciting the medical information; in response to a prompt by the medical records system, choosing to receive the person's medical information via a text message to a cellular telephone; and receiving on a cellular telephone the text message containing the person's medical information. The steps of calling the emergency telephone number and entering the access code cause the medical records system to automatically notify at least one emergency contact of the person. A telephone number for the at least one emergency contact is stored in the database of the medical records system.
