Is hippa partly at fault? I wonder how much of our healthcare cost is related to hippa. The only time I have had to use a fax in the last decade is to get my medical records to a new doctor.
- SamBam 6y agoI don't see why it ought to be. That's why I was specifying a non-medical-records-transferring site. Already when you book an appointment, I believe, you simply state why you're eligible for the current group and when you get to the injection site they double-check that (to the best of their ability). I don't believe that any states are requiring verification that you are, e.g., a smoker. So you should be able to just input your data, your age, if you are a frontline worker, whatever, and check the box that you have 2+ of the listed medical conditions. When you get to the site, the triage person can check that. This is no more or less security than currently exists, it just centralizes it.
- prepend 6y agoI can submit my data anywhere I want. I can permit it to be shared with anyone I want. Having a registry that I submit info to, get it verified, and shared to doctors is probably easier because of HIPAA. Because at least there’s a common standard that system operators can plan around and there’s at least some protection.
