two related issues are getting out of hand for me.
i wonder how others handle it
the first issue has to do with sending for and receiving medical records.
let's say this is a patient 4 years old, who moved to my area.
no hospitalizations, maybe had a few colds and an ear infection, had a series of physicals, etc.
well, here it comes. a bulk envelope with 150+ pages of fluff. yes, the visits are there, with shot records, but the fluff.
there could be something 'important to know' buried in the fluff. to read this report with intensity - to not miss 'anything' could take a couple hours - i wonder what others would considered a reasonable approach to reviewing bulky medical records like this - and then what to do with all this paper.
a second related issue is what to send to 'someone' requesting medical records from me, so as to be complete, and not be guilty myself of sending too much of my own fluff
