I would have to agree with George. It is very much like my KeyBank online account. I can access it. I can actually read/write. Withdraw, etc. and it is instantly updated. Now, I am the only one along with KeyBank and god knows who else that can access it. But, how simple it would be for me to give one day or five day or whatever access to another provider. The other provider could have read or read/write privileges. But, no matter how many people accessed it, the complete product would always be in one place.
It's really a joke the way things are done today. Actually, George, the latest PCP should have all the data and can pass it all along legally in Maine anyway, but even here we have FQHCs which take advantage of the same law which allows them NOT to send the entire document. How stupid is that. We also send CDs to consultants. Some love them, some won't take them, one person didn't even know how to use it. It's unbelievable.
One thing is certain. No matter what the change, if you make it mandatory, it will happen. People will learn -- they will have to.
And, when you think about it, the records would be more detailed and complete, because you would know others would be reading it more often if that makes sense.
