Well that clears things up.
Whenever I read legal mumbo jumbo, I try to figure out how it's going to work in the real world. If I am to accept that EHRs will simply be used by physicians and hospitals to reduce paperwork, then we can expect never to have to fill out another form in the doctor's office? Yeah right.
And if that is not the point - WHAT IS?????
Also - do insurance companies currently have access to medical records? How would an insurer know if someone has AIDs or smokes?
