Universal Permanent Medical Records for Better Healthcare

September 19, 2018

Medical history is handled in many different ways and forms. There are different types of diagnostic tests, patient forms, and check-ups that generate medical data, but none of these is consolidated in a consistent fashion. In the olden days, when patients were handled by family doctors and general practitioners, medical records could be consolidated because a patient would see the same doctor throughout their lifetime. This is a far cry from today’s healthcare system, which is dominated by health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and insurance companies that create a fragmented environment for patient data.
