At first we hated it but after awhile it was a great system that we loved. No constant filling out forms at different doctors. Test results were available within a few hours on our home computer. RXs could be ordered online and could be mailed to our home. No matter which doctor we saw, they had ALL of our health information. We could ALWAYS see a doctor the same day and and if you emailed a question to your doctor it would be answered in a few hours. This is the modern day Marcus Welby. We were VERY happy with the Kaiser Health Care System. It seems to me that this is the type of Health network they are trying to build. |
This is EXACTLY right. I LOVED the electronic component as you say here---could e-mail my provider with questions, could request RX's, could also see test results and also info from prior dr. visits. It was a step backward (or two) when we arrived here 4 years ago to have to fill out what seemed like volumes of paperwork each time we went to a new location. I see nothing but positive re: this new system and we're happy to be a part of it!
