Hap Posted March 3, 2019 at 04:57 PM Share Posted March 3, 2019 at 04:57 PM So when we apply for a carry license, we authorize ISP to access our medical records. What with decades of doctors visits, routine exams, random complaints, surgeries, childbirth, and the like, most people have thousands of pages of accumulated records. Until recently, most of it has been on paper. Even when it's electronic, it's still scattered across multiple systems and has got to be a mess (i.e. expensive) to wade through. So what does ISP actually do with this stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, in some future world, AI bots will use your entire life history and genetic code to predict your suitability to own, carry or even be exposed to guns and other things.

tdiller Posted March 4, 2019 at 03:56 PM Share Posted March 4, 2019 at 03:56 PM There are two major electronic medical records companies vying for all the business. One is EPIC out of Madison Wi. The electronic records are searchable so with key words they can find an entry pretty quickly. The VA uses the other company whose name I can't recall right now. EPIC is used by the insurance group my work provides. The good thing about e-records is that all doctors will have access to all the records. No more having records at different offices unless you go outside the medical group. Like many gov't entities once they get access they will find ways to use/tax/monetize it.

RS1 Posted March 4, 2019 at 05:07 PM Share Posted March 4, 2019 at 05:07 PM There are several EMR providers that include Epic, Cerner, and GE's Centricity. Most hospitals and large systems use one of these. There are also dozens of smaller providers that individual physicians and smaller groups use. What this means for ISP is that unless they spend a ton of money being able to talk to all these systems, they won't have access to medical records electronically. This is probably get another case of Springfield writing a check that the ISP can't cash (through no fault of the hamstrung ISP). That's not to say things won't change in the future or that that ISP can't send individual record requests on a case by case basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianj - now in Kansas Posted March 5, 2019 at 05:33 PM Share Posted March 5, 2019 at 05:33 PM There are two major electronic medical records companies vying for all the business.

No more having records at different offices unless you go outside the medical group. Like many gov't entities once they get access they will find ways to use/tax/monetize it. Right now, VA's still using a home-grown EMR. However, a couple of VA Secretaries ago, VA did a multi-billion dollar purchase of the Cerner product. Supposedly this was because DoD had also done a multi-billion dollar purchase of the Cerner product and VA wanted to maintain database compatibility with DoD. In theory, they're going to start implementing the Cerner product in a couple of hospitals here in another year or so, slowly spreading out over VHA. Time will tell if the Cerner implementations in both organizations will be successful. I have my personal feelings, but don't want to publish anything on a public forum.
