| 1. | 11/14/2007 7:48:00 PM | The right to access to the medical file is granted for the patient. It must absolutely be the same in the other way, from patient to his/her MD |
| 2. | 11/14/2007 8:49:00 PM | again getting succinct relevant info is needed and we already see repeated reguritations of prior info that just imede focusing on what is needed to help the patient now. |
| 3. | 11/22/2007 8:40:00 PM | Recal goal: Patient Focused, Community Based, Longitudinal Health Record. A cloud of data that follows the patient wherever he/she needs. It should be accurate, complete, current, consistent. |
| 4. | 11/23/2007 1:20:00 AM | yes, number 3 |
| 5. | 11/23/2007 3:29:00 AM | I t may be hard to evaulate information that the patient has stored. It may be incomplete or out of context. |
| 6. | 11/23/2007 3:40:00 AM | Of course, not necessary in very simple situations (e.g. suturing cut finger), but very important in most medical & significant traumatic situations. |
| 7. | 11/23/2007 8:22:00 AM | There has to be be a search engine of a "Semantic Web" dimension to parse the data created by a life time of medical data |
| 8. | 11/23/2007 2:11:00 PM | "also be HELPFUL to have access... " "Having access to other healthcare provider medical records is very important in SOME situations, especially in patients with complex medical issues." |
| 9. | 11/23/2007 3:57:00 PM | But when I need them, I really need them and cannot function appropriately without them. |
| 10. | 11/23/2007 6:00:00 PM | I need old records in some situations |
| 11. | 11/23/2007 10:59:00 PM | I care for patients with multi-system disorders, thus maximal communication between providers is essential. |
| 12. | 11/24/2007 12:15:00 AM | But, the records need to be WELL ORGANIZED!!!! (We can't hunt through pages of scanned documents for the last echo... |
| 13. | 11/24/2007 12:39:00 AM | The less accurate & medically sophisticated the patient is (or the more drug-seeking they are) the more important it is.We should also be able to access limited police records (to see if a crime has been reported) and pharmacy records (to see if a prescription has been filled, or multiple prescriptions from multiple physicians) for those patients who appear on holidays, nights, & weekends (usually from out of state) claiming that their pain medicine or prescriptions were stolen, lost, or eaten by their pet. |
| 14. | 11/24/2007 12:36:00 PM | i rarely need the old records |
| 15. | 11/25/2007 11:12:00 PM | This will cause more confusion and even a bigger burden on already overburdened physicians. The problem is not lack of information but the limited time for physicians to be able to assimilate it. |
| 16. | 11/28/2007 9:02:00 PM | This is much more important in patients with complex medical issues. In pts without compex histories, old records may not add important info, but you never know. |
