Because if you guys had real time access to any patients full Rx history then you'd be able to see yours, any other docs and all the pharmacys they were filled at. We all know that abusers float around docs and pharmacys to avoid getting flagged. And how many patients have you had who have changes to their meds from the other docs they see and you don't get notes from the other doc nor does the patient remember to tell you either.
We could stop most of these drugs from getting out onto the streets at the main source if you folks could have real time access to that kind of data. That's data you could use. That's covered entity sharing of data that makes real sense and it could all be done without involving a single carrier.... God forbid we should cut them out of the stream and let you folks do what you were trained to do, manage and control all these things. And arm you with the tools and the data you really need to actually do it.
