#Trump as part of #MAHA wants to make easier DIGITAL REPOSITORY (no, not a #Health SUPPOSITORY joke, but now I've gone and made the pun anyway) to make it EASIER for us as #PATIENTS to not have to keep filling out endless forms at any and every #HEALTH #SERVICES #PROVIDER we go to. Yes, it then provides ONE target for HACKERS rather than the many other places many #HealthSystems keep already could HACK. HOWEVER, indeed if someone wants at your Records they have plenty ways at it already so the convenience likely worth the not really all that much more RISK. I WONDER THOUGH, frankly I am not convinced MANY providers would want this. WHY? Simple - THEY CAN BE LAZY forcing you to fill out THEIR PREFERRED FORMS/QUESTIONS (as they do OVER AND OVER AGAIN, when many times our Records are ALREADY IN THEIR SYSTEM and NO NEED FOR US to be filling out MORE PAPERWORK) that then they will IGNORE NEXT VISIT and demand you FILL OUT MORE FORMS AGAIN ANYWAY!!! So, frankly, I would WELCOME this HEALTH RECORDS REPOSITORY and STOP WASTING OUR TIME/ENERGY and all that wasted Paper. Time after time, I cannot say, how HENRY FORD HEALTH keeps telling me THEY DO NOT HAVE my PATIENT ADVOCATE and ADVANCED DIRECTIVE info they've been given MANY TIMES and every time ASSURE it will then be ON FILE for next time - but somehow NEVER IS! They DO NOT want to be bothered with YOU actually taking any ability of CONTROL over your Care - they want peddle WHAT PUTS MONEY IN THEIR POCKET whether best for you OR NOT!!!
