"And in the future i see companies that restrict the patient to access to the data to have more growth. Its easier to get a hold of Obama then it is to see your medical records, Doctors and companies don't want patience to see that data, especially doctors. I see them supporting a system which allows for faster medical records to move between their offices and insurance companies but not client access."


I greatly disagree that patients will have restricted access. IT'S THE PATIENTS RECORDS. Medical records are not hard too obtain for an individual. If you have to access a potential clients record, as you say you do, you would know that all you need is a simple medical records release authorization.

Any attempt to restrict a patients access to their own records flies in the face of privacy laws. The same privacy laws restrict other doctors and insurance companies access to these records w/o the patients prior consent (medical records release authorization). My first professional position out of college was as an insurance adjuster. When investigating injury claims, the only thing I needed was the signed authorization to get copies of complete medical records. Nothing hard about it.
