But this is not being developed as a tool for some vast conspiracy to create fraudulent records. It is being developed to fill a void where a real need exists. People have blood work done, go to see the specialist and the same labs are ordered again because we are often too busy to try to get the records of what was already done. The result is a dramatic waste of time and money. We need to be rapid in our adoption of the 'Medical Home Model' to assure that the PCP has a complete set of the records, ORGANIZED and ready to be used by the specialist we refer to or the Emergency room our patient lands in.
