This is a … This is a rediculous comparison. No one ever crashed a hospital into the World Trade Center. Keep the government’s hands off my Medicare!

Very well done, and … Very well done, and so true.
I swear you go to a hospital and you fill out repeat the same history six times. And that’s when you’re only going through the emergency room….

@I2GhettoEnufffaU … @I2GhettoEnufffaU As a real doctor and healthcare IT consultant, I do not completely agree. IT in healthcare is in it’s infancy (or perhaps it’s toddler years), but very exciting things are on the horizon…
Also, we use copies of records all the time, so I don’t know where your other notion came from.

The VAST majority … The VAST majority receive care within their local health system, so, while nice, is the cost of being able to access a Vermont resident’s med list / health history in Nebraska worth the cost? Especially when <gasp> the patient can actually TELL you his/her history and any tests can be readily obtained from the remote health system’s medical records department via fax or email within (usually) 10-20 minutes.
I enjoy tech and I use EHRs. Local health systems should choose what works for them.

To all you anti-big … To all you anti-big business types: where do you think the idea of a nationwide health-care computer system comes from? Who profits from the sale of equipment, software, maintenance contracts, and whatever personal data future regulations allow them to sell to third parties for marketing/research purposes?

Actually, I’m a … Actually, I’m a physician… not an Internet armchair philosopher.
I personally see anywhere from 20-45 patients per day. I not only use
EHRs daily, but I am also personally involved in the implementation
of our entire health systems’s new Electronic record.
You?

God forbid anyone … God forbid anyone take responsibility for their own care! Imagine interacting with a doctor all by YOURSELF! Wouldn’t it be better if government (mommy) did it for me? Instead of maintaining a copy of your own health history / med list and PHOTOCOPYING it (10 cents) for new providers, lets tax the crap out of the 53% of the population that still pays taxes to fund a billion dollar electronic beaurocracy that raises the cost of everything!

They left out the … They left out the part where they won’t sell him a ticket at all if he has ever flown to a city that has ever had a plane make an emergency landing. Preexisting condition, you know….
