Simple goes a long way when it comes to dealing with healthcare information. In my practice, I created a google form that patients can fill out and then have access to whenever they need it (for sharing with other providers for example). It's not elegant, but it's easy, flexible, and it fundamentally shifts control of the patient record from the doctor to the patient. Happy to share a customizable template if anyone is interested.
- sixQuarks 14y agoWhat I'm thinking about goes way beyond regular patient information. I'm thinking along the lines of a "family medical history social network". For example, I want it to be where family members can input small ailments, such as "I suffer from cold hands and feet". Now imagine a few other relatives happen to put this down as well. This is not something that you would ever reveal in a regular doctor medical history report, but something like this could, say, indicate that there are circulation issues running in the family. That's just an example I made up, but imagine the possibilities. The software should allow "privacy" options, so that if a family member is embarrassed to reveal an ailment, they can choose to make it private, however, the software will take that into account to see if there are patterns that it should alert you to. I haven't brainstormed enough about this, but I just think this could be really useful in some way.
