marcus welby was a made up character and as such had his 'life' planned out via a tv script. reality is unscripted. i am sure that the ladies would enjoy it if our 'marcus welby's' had a young assistant like james brolin!

Goodness! Our medical records in WA state have been electronic for at least five years. I worked for Social Security Disability for 30 years. In 2005 ALL their medical files became electronic. Many people in the Villages are on this program. SSA, the granddaddy of all bureaucracies, worked with doctors, hospitals and clinics nationwide to convert their records to electronic form. This is not 'new' in 2013. It is the 21st century and computers rule! There are far more benefits to electronic records than there are problems with them. The complaining about so many issues on this forum sure gets tiring. We sound like a bunch of 'crotchety old people'!

I am sure anyone who has experienced identity theft doesn't share your opinion. We have enough fraud with medicare without making all that information available to those that wish to make a fast buck. Can't hardly compare the state of Washington having some people on electronic records with the entire country having to be electronic by 2015. Whole different ball game.
So far I have only experienced inconvenience to me the patient as far as medical records. Have yet to see a benefit, but hoping for the best in the future. |

I've been told time and again by providers of various medical services (not just MDs, that is) that Medicare is one of the best, if not THE best, payer. Possibly private insurers are more focused on their bottom line than they are on the health needs of their insureds....

It's the IRS involvement in our medical records that has me concerned. It's not the electronic medical record. It's the misuse of it by politicians using it as a political football to get votes in any way possible under the sun. |

![]() ![]() That is inexcusable, and that is what this new system is supposed to prevent. And now we have computers to facilitate that process, and yet people are complaining, making up all sorts of scenarios where this will abort our identity protection, etc.... You may like the old system, but times have changed; there are fewer doctors for more people, and they have to come up with a safe way to transmit patient information internally. It'll be no satisfaction to you, if the irs can't get a hold of your medical information, if you happen to be dead due to lack of timely record sharing by your doctors. |

CFrance - I don't think anyone is arguing if done correctly electronic medical records can save lives. We are concerned about the misuse of the information and I believe it is a legitimate concern. None of our personal information is safe anymore in this electronic age.
Russ_Boston - I respect your position and knowledge; however, I don't believe you are a computer hacker and would therefore not have the ability or inclination to obtain that information. |
