IT’S RIGHT—AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT—TO CONTROL YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION

Here are some inside facts about things you may have suspected:

DOCTORS RARELY REVIEW A THICK STACK OF RECORDS

We’ve heard this story 100 times. A patient has waited months for an appointment with a specialist. They have painstakingly collected all their records.

They hand their folder to the doctor who politely says, “Thank you,” and pushes it aside. “Now, tell me why you’re here…”

RECORDS ARE HARD TO ABSORB - EVEN FOR EXPERTS - WHEN PATIENTS ARE “HIGHLY COMPLEX”

Whether in paper or electronic form, there’s a point where the volume of data is too great for anyone to skim accurately.

Things get missed or misread. This is just a fact; an unavoidable, human shortcoming. For patients at the higher end of medical complexity, careful review is essential. But this is time consuming, even for experts.

Electronic records have actually made this problem worse, by increasing the amount of information in patient charts by orders of magnitude.

FILLING OUT “PATIENT MEDICAL HISTORY” FORMS IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WITH COMPLEX MEDICAL HISTORIES

Only very young or very healthy people can fill out modern “medical history” forms without much effort.

Everybody else has too many details to carry around in their heads to recite them on demand, or fill them in on the “waiting room clipboard.” Re-visiting past medical events can sometimes even be traumatizing.

Every mistake or omission on a history form becomes part of your permanent record. This can even lead to diagnosis and treatment errors.
