I am simply amazed at the “New Patient” questions being asked today. Took my college age son to a new doc, recently, and could not believe some of the questions. I kept saying, “ignore that one”.
I think right now, these systems are so messed up that they wouldn't be able to cross check my middle name. I recently met a guy who works specifically on databases for one of the National Labs. He said the internal contact database that links all labs is so antiquated they have spent three years just on separating city/state/zip fields and they still aren't done.
