If you caught our program on Nov. 10, what was your reaction?  If you missed it, here is the YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng4Z2Cy6Z6M; what are your thoughts?

Here are my thoughts as I was watching the video:

  • Bush White House, executive order
  • chart from own chapter—not conclusive
  • rapid review ≠ quality care, ≠ talking to individual
  • automated reminders do not take new info into account; laziness
  • own research before calling doctor?
  • I ask for records after every important event.
  • Hospitals are 24/7 entities. They are open anyway.
  • How does real-time reconciliation work with automated reminders?
  • HIPAA is a problem; where are records required to be placed now.
  • Money to provider to give your records—big red flag.
  • Value-added service?
  • Research queries? Not without my fully informed consent.
  • How is this low-cost?
  • Payment to physicians for MY records? Recommendation by physician who is getting paid for deposits?
  • Optional services suggested by whom?
  • About $6/person/year
  • incentives, $10/person/year
  • costs above, 1million people/year
  • fees to opt out of advertisging for my health records? NO ($3 per person per year)
  • remiders and alerts, $18/year (30% of people ast $60/year, peace of mind list for $20/year to alert peple that you are in emergency room)
  • preventive care reminders, $20/year—who decides what reminders are given?
  • Refill reminders, $20/year
  • quries, >$3/year
  • centralized best? No, distributed does not give access to all if one is breached.
  • Security = how difficult do you make access to prevent unauthorized access
  • can’t lose entire server, but you can lose one person’s entire file/history
  • but then K servers are breachable; who is coördinating all those servers and/or phones?
  • How long did Diane take the medications before stopping? Did Diane not know about her own allergy? I know that I have no allergies and that my mom is allergic to penicillin.
  • Reduction of 8%? Not nearly as much as was discussed up front.
