“Those are the paper records that medicine still runs on.” Inefficient, error-prone, yes; likely to be hacked, no. There’s a bright side to everything.

Keeping paper records as a backup does not have to mean using them as the core of your everyday office procedure. Why shouldn’t my medical records be held in servers online, like every other office I do business with, and available instantly when authorized people need them? Whenever we see a new doctor, we have to give them our whole medical history on a paper form, over and over and over again for each specialist. Eventually, you’re going to get fuzzy on how old you were when you had chicken pox. Vital information, which might at some point mean your life, is being lost.
