It seems to me that in a desperate search for relevance we a really moving way to far away from the concept of a patient record for use by GPs, specialists and Pharmacists. Its only a matter of time before they move on the vets, accountants, lab technicians and then in desperation the lawyers and accountants.
Psychologists deal with awake conversant patients in their rooms and I struggle to really follow just what aspects of their health the patient could not describe better than the incomplete and likely out of date #myHR.

Where exactly could information relevant to psychologists go (or already be) in MyHR?
ReplyDeleteOnly GPs can upload a shared health summary, I doubt that X-Rays, MRI, colonoscopies, blood tests etc are of much interest.
It's not likely that a psychologist would want to put anything into MyHR even if there was a place.
I think the ADHA is confusing activity with progress.
The benefits are to the presenter, who gets paid, and the attendees who get a few easy professional development brownie points:
