Comments on: EHR systems: Double-edged sword? http://healthexecnews.com/ehr-systems-double-edged-sword Healthcare Management News and Insights Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:48:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Tony F. http://healthexecnews.com/ehr-systems-double-edged-sword/comment-page-1#comment-35 Tony F.

I also think this this "EHR" idea is a good-as long as it's not mandated. What's next? I live in the USA cause it's a "Free" country-however the freedom of choice is becoming the exception, rather than the rule. Once the EHR systems are completed after the mandated time frame, we WILL see that it will become an "intergrated" infrastructure, eventually going mainsteam-which everyone and anyone remotely connected to the healthcare industry, will have total ascess to our neighbor's information. Oh yes, HIPPA, we'll need more rules, even better than the ones that never got clearified. What ever happened to the throwback years of simple medicine, from the caring doctor who delivered us, knew us by our family, putting our healthcare before the copay?
