“My Doc still uses manila file folders and lined paper... He refuses to digitize due to the lack of privacy and possible liability. I appreciate his concern, but he is a dying breed....”

He probably refuses to digitize because the average cost of an EMR implementation is close to $50 000/license and usually requires a change to the provider’s/practice’s workflow. Some healthcare providers are notorious for slow adoption of IT and anything that can accelerate this process is a positive.

WRONG! I am retired IT (AT&T & BELL LABS) and proud to say hold a US patent for a unique software program with artificial intelligence so I do have some credentials.

I will never trust the democrats or any government agency with regard to private records. Anyone with a high profile or threat to a Clintoon will eventually reap the wrath of those criminals.... Have you forgotten the FBI files?

I can't tell you how often that crew showed up at our door....
