Burp, This time, America is learning about the federal government’s plan to collect and aggregate confidential patient records for every one of us.



Doesn't the VA have the records on all individuals using their services on a data base, electronic system which can be accessed by any doctor in the US? If I recall, this is one of the ways that the healthcare industry plans to cut down duplication in testing, storage, and sending or records. I know that all the Washington University physicians can retrieve all the tests that their doctors have requested a person has taken.

My hospital CEO gave me a copy of the following site/article, The Cost Conundrum on Healthcare. It was a good article regarding the direction of healthcare.
