Technology is NEVER a substitute for good management (decision making)

It’s why my doctor had to leave his clinic for a health care conglomerate, and then retire, leaving me with a registered nurse for treatment.

Not to mention I receive a notice from a group thathat my medical records along with thousands of others were potentially hacked. I get free credit monitoring for two years. Nice

Everyone has a useless Patient Portal at every physician’s site now that no one checks into. The cost of running these Obama ideas is millions, which is added to the cost of health care, again proving he knows absolutely nothing about how business works. What an ignorant bunch of voters we have in this country, who thought a community organizer/Big Government parasite would be able to bring about Utopia for the masses!

My doctor spends more time looking at the computer than he spends looking at me.

I recently took a job with a rural clinic. Medical records exchange is essentially faxes. There isn’t any credible industry data interchange standard to transfer records and, if there was, it would have been made obsolete by the recent move to icd10.

Best part is we don’t have the staff or time to do anything to those faxes besides import them into the ehr as pdfs. The details seldom if ever make it into the patient record. So instead of practicing medicine, the provider’s are scanning through multi-hundred page pdfs looking for info.

Anytime I go to the doctor I always ask him and his receptionist if they like the new obamacare crap. Every single time I am met with a steely look and an answer of “No!”

It was never about making something work, it was about control and access to everyone's health information.
To detect when someone should be ineligible for, say, gun ownership.
Or unsuitable for their current job. Democrat politicians exempted of course.

We had to pass it to find out what was in it.

In an ideal, and I stress "ideal" in an academic manner, being able to share patient data among physicians, specialists, surgeons and other healthcare personnel would be a fantastic idea...at a distant point in the future.

As it stands today however, it simply takes too long to enter or update patient information. I can't tell you how many duplicate forms I've had to complete in the past two years alone. Who else knows what I'm talking about...having to write my patient history from doctor's office to doctor's office infuriates me.

May God help anyone who has to deal with the aftermath of trying to correct a mistake, or explaining to the insurance company when they tell you they won't pay for a service because they don't cover the code that was presented to their systems, when you know darn well they should cover the service.
