Answer by katherine w
Advantage- handwriting legibilty isn’t an issue
easy to search past records
not wasting paper
Disadvantage- If everyone’s medical records are on a computer a hacker could do some serious damage. Also think of all the time it would take for old medical records to be transcribed!

Question by LittleBirdKK: Question about Electronic Medical Records/ and medical transcribing?
Last week I heard Obama give a speech saying that one of the first things he wants to change in the medical health industry is making all medical records electronic, so less mistakes can be made on patients health records.
Does this mean that in the near future medical transcription jobs will be becoming extinct?

Answer by ?~GotLove~?
No. Electronic transcribing is far from accurate, and it will be a very long time before doctors and hospitals rely on them instead of people.

“Your health records on sale block”
‘Critic says patient consent unneeded in stimulus plan’

The head of the Institute for Health Freedom says now is the time for American residents to rise up if they want to keep control over their health records, because the data soon will be for sale and is forecast to become the next “gold rush.”

WND has reported several times on similar issues, including when parents in Minnesota recently sued the state to prevent the collection of their infants’ DNA without permission to use it for research.

Institute President Sue Blevins said the new “stimulus” bill approved by Congress provides for electronic health records for all Americans.

The move, she says, weakens an individual’s control over his or her own health records to the point that data could be employed for research that may end up being used against the patient.

“The economic stimulus law plans for every American to use an electronic health record (EHR) and allows those records to be sold for research and public-health purposes – without patients’ consent,” she explained.

What do my medical records contain?

Medical records are created when you receive treatment from a health professional such as a physician, nurse, dentist, chiropractor, or psychiatrist. Records may include your medical history, details about your lifestyle (such as smoking or involvement in high-risk sports), and family medical history.

In addition, your medical records contain laboratory test results, medications prescribed, and reports that indicate the results of operations and other medical procedures. Your records could also include the results of genetic testing used to predict your future health. And they might include information about your participation in research projects.

Information you provide on applications for disability, life or accidental insurance with private insurers or government programs can also become part of your medical file.

What good is a medical record, if it omits such crucially important information?

Are obamas only now realizing, what giant can of privacy-related worms they’ve created with the centralized database of these records — and try to patch things up on the fly? So, we are going to have the database, but it would not be a reliable source of information — the worst of both worlds…

Answer by Do or don’t do, No trying.
I don’t believe for a moment that this Government would allow any data to be kept from them.
