Counter example: electronic medical records.
Billions was poured into this and I remember it being a big item in healthcare reform. But im still answering the same questions and filling out the same forms every time I go see a doctor.
Generally more money and mandates from top down don't work
- lotsofpulp 4y agoAll of my doctors use Epic, and I do not have to answer the same questions. When my wife gave birth in the local hospital, which also uses Epic, they had all her info from her primary physician and OB. The kids’ pediatricians also has access to information since birth, and my doctor can see the information from my vasectomy that a different doctor in a different practice performed. All the labs are also easily accessed online, and I can easily login to my account and download them all to Apple Health app in my phone.
