WHAT! Who could have guessed this would be the case? I try to avoid going to the doc unless absolutely necessary but when I/you do go, how much do we reveal on the never ending forms? And, if, after an "encounter", you don't do any follow ups, does someone "determine" that your failure to do so may indicate some sort of mental health issue? More intrusion than I need.

My doctor stands across the examining room punching info into his laptop while asking me questions and rarely looking up to make eye contact.

He reminds me of trying to talk to a teenager playing with a smart phone.

I hate to admit it, but the EHR my practice uses is pretty good.

Easy to navigate. Pretty intuitive.

I wait until the patient leaves the room to do the actual chart entry, minus lab orders, prescriptions, etc.

After 22 years of military service.....I got ready to retire and processing through and getting a copy of your medical records is necessary. I sat for 30 minutes gazing through 40-odd pages in my folder (I didn’t exactly use a lot of their services over the years). Very little was readable....and I could have written most of it myself (the doc just transcribed what I said I had for a pain or fever).

Maybe the doctors ought to let the patient write their own records input.

This is currently happening:

An elderly relative has 21 diagnosis/conditions to deal with. The fedzilla EHR apparantly has a limit of 11 total. During his recent visit, the dr had to arbitrarily delete 10 diagnosis for the EHR upload to fedzilla.

Now, what might be the repercussions of that? Will insurance not cover the deleted conditions? What about medications associated with treatments of the deleted entries?

Clearly, this krap is a mess...

In theory, electronic recordkeeping is a good idea. I see several doctors and in the old days it was difficult for one doctor to get records from another doctor. I also couldn't get my own lab results and I can't tell you how many times paper records were lost. Much easier for me now.

But I do have concerns as to who all has access to these records. Are the death panels going to look at my history and decide I'm too old and sickly to waste valuable resources on?

“How do you think the secretary will determine quality and value? That’s right: through the use of the EHRs that MACRA envisions in every doctor’s office.”

And that is when I will quit Medicare.

..my Kaiser doctor is more interested in sitting at the keyboard and asking personal family questions and about lifestyle habits from 40 years ago, than actually treating me for why I came into his office.

That crawly feeling on the back of my neck told me that all of these intrusive questions and the cross-referencing databases with DEA and who-knows-what-else is the lengthening shadow of Obamacare.

I now view my HMO as a wing of the Federal government--and will act accordingly...

I try to go to the doctor every five years or so, just to get out.

"The influential RAND Corporation, which had long endorsed EHRs, reported in 2013 that they neither saved money nor improved care."

But they do provide a nice, centrally stored, easily searchable database on virtually every single person in the country.

Meanwhile, more and more doctors are retiring or discontinuing their practices. This will soon reach the point where, like Britain, poorly trained foreign workers will be imported and called doctors. A lovely combination of incompetent butchery and a continued push for easy euthanasia to make up for across the board shortfalls.

Yep, this is exactly what internationalist socialists and multinational corporation internationalists want.

That millions of people will suffer and die for their arrogance and greed doesn’t move them one hair’s breadth.
