Apple in talks to transfer US veterans' medical records to iPhone
GeorgeBMac said:There is a fatal flaw in these 'portable' health records: The assumption that they are accurate.As a healthcare professional on the inside, and as a caregiver and patient on the outside, I can assure you that they are anything but accurate.Physicians record things for multiple purposes -- but most often to justify diagnostic tests and treatments to insurance companies in order to get reimbursement. So, because your record has a diagnosis of some condition does not mean that you actually have or have ever had that condition.An example is: A couple months ago I visited a new PCP -- but spent the bulk of the appointment debunking various historical diagnosis (such as a heart arrhythmia) he was seeing in my electronic records.Another example was as a nurse treating a patient with a diagnosis of schizophrenia when he actually had zero symptoms of that condition -- but instead had a clear case of CTE. But since insurance didn't recognize CTE, he was diagnosed with something that they could recognize and pay for.I could provide many, many more examples.I make a practice of keeping written records of all of my diagnostic tests and treatments -- and provide them to new physicians as necessary. They are far, far more accurate than my electronic medical record.And, it is not just an academic problem: misdiagnosis is a leading cause of incorrect and improper treatments -- which can be harmful and even deadly.
