Do you know about any IT systems for sending medical data (images, etc.) to patients?

By    01:31 // No comments

Hello. I am writing a thesis (at a university) regarding IT systems for sending medical data to patients/research subjects. However, I am having trouble finding systems I could write about and research.

I would be grateful if you told me about such systems you use/used in the past. Also, if there were some things you like/hate about these systems, I would be happy if you let me know.

Thank you.

Medical record question - Should this be corrected?

By    11:31 // No comments

Last month I ended up at an urgent care for bronchitis that was not improving. Today I logged into my patient portal (because I have yet to receive a bill) and looked at the record from the visit. The visit notes start off with:

“(Name) is a (#) year old female with a history of seizures currently taking (specific medication).”

I do not have seizures, nor have I ever had a seizure in my life. The specific medication that is mentioned is one I have been on for several years. Apparently it’s main use is to treat seizures but I have been prescribed it by a few different psychiatrists over the years as a mood stabilizer. None of this was discussed with the provider I saw, they just asked what medications I was on.

I’ve heard horror stories of people with inaccurate info in their medical records causing issues down the line. I guess I’m paranoid that because some doctor stated at one point that I have a history of seizures when I definitely do not that it will be treated as factual. My question is, would this be something I should try and get corrected? Is a visit note a permanent piece of my medical history that other providers can see and possibly impact future care? This urgent care was affiliated with a major hospital system in my area through which I see multiple providers and all my records are together in the portal.

Out of state doctor

By    00:31 // No comments

I have some questions regarding working with a doctor licensed to practice in another state.

  • does insurance (PPO) still reimburse you if the doctor is only licensed to practice in another state? (Visits are virtual)
  • do you tend to get push backs from places like school or work on the credibility of the doctor if they are out of state? If we get push back, are the push backs legal? If not, how can we tell them so?

Thank you!
