Amen on that. My wife works in a hospital. SUPPOSEDLY its computerized, YET when you enter you fill out these long forms downstairs, then they send you upstairs to a floor, whats the first thing you have to do? You guessed it FILL OUT THOSE LONG FORMS ALL OVER AGAIN. Then theres the nurses, charting, charting charting. Then theres all the forms the nurses must fill out every day on every patient. There is JUST NO END to it all. I havent even mentioned the BUSINESS END of a hospital. The bueracracy in a hospital is just overpowering. jdn

Just last week I had a chest xray the report from which took five days to get to my primary care physician who referred my to a lung guy and xeroxed some paper which she mailed to me and which could barely be read so that I could carry it to him when I saw him. Waste of time and money. That is why Kaiser is the future of medicine. EVERYTHING that is done to me, from the interview and diagnoses during a checkup though prescriptions, tests, etc, is entered in their computer as we go. When I go to any part of the Kaiser system for treatment, they have everything at their fingertips.
