Yes, it is possible for a summary. I was recently in the ER and laughed at the stack of paper they gave me -- lots of wasted space and redundancy in the reports and recommendations.
The electronic medical record vomits out about one meaningful sentence per every 20 pages.
Went to see my orthopod recently because my knee was bothering me. First visit in four years. First thing I noticed is that they have gone from one doc and one person on the front desk plus one x-ray technician to one doc and five clerical employees. They gave me 27 pages to fill out, mostly history info. Put my name, dob, address and phone number on the first page and wrote N/A in big letters on all the rest.
Was informed by the gal at the front desk that they couldn’t see me unless I filled in all the pages. Tried to explain that nothing on any of those pages has anything to do with my knee to no avail. Cancelled appt.
Found a great orthopod that sees only private pay. Intake form is one page and requests biographical information and description of presenting problem. Also, new doc is in practice by himself and has one clerical employee plus an X-ray tech. It’s great.
It’s a lot harder to justify that $10K ER insurance bill if you get a single paragraph saying “all done!” Looks more impressive when it’s a stack of paperwork... :)
