> This might sound like a nit, but the previous primary care doctor I went to in the Bay Area emailed me a follow-up message in the form of a Word document—which mistakenly included several pages of someone else's medical information, too. This happens all the time with archiac or manual systems, but it is not a minor nit. That's a hairs edge away from being a reportable HIPAA breach and thus a headache for the doctor. If you made a fuss about it, they would have to report it. Having good data security processes is not something a doctor's office can afford to ignore. That's definitely an advantage of a more technologically focused approach like One Medical.
