Hey folks-

I just talked about this issues on my radio show last week. What do you think?  Do you have your medical records on line?  Accessible?  To whom?  Do you care?

More and more the topic in health care is decreasing costs in any way possible and one option is minimizing paper, and trying to get information electronic.  Although this turns out to be a surprisingly small dent in the US overall health care expenditure, it still has it's benefits. A few perks include - relatively easy and quick access to medical records, effective archiving and retrieval of the data, and ability to use the data for research in de-identifiable chunks.  These process improvements might not seem like much, but they could really create a sea change in quality improvement and with the speed and efficiency of delivery of health care.
