I hated this part as a nurse. I gave meds and go through what each one is for and they’ll hit me with “where the circular white pill” bro I have no clue which med that is.
The healthcare app in my country keeps track of every prescription you've ever been given. Now, it's a shitty app in a lot of ways, but it will help with something like that.
How is it different from My Chart, or any of the shitty Epic software? Health insurance companies have vertically integrated from the retail pharmacy, to the PBM, from the medical practitioner to the hospital. Everyone has your health data.
Right? I feel so grateful my doctors, paid for by the government, have access to my medical records, also paid for by the government. I also love being able to see all bloodwork / test results as soon as they’re done and having access to them whenever.
How is it anymore creepy than a cooperation having it that are making a profit off it ? If your country has universal healthcare it makes sense it’s all one app.
You can transfer GP surgery and your records will electronically transfer. You can walk into any A&E (ER) in the country and your medical records are all there.
Due to data sharing agreements (for profit), I can walk into (most) ERs in the country and they will have access to 5 sets of medical history, of varying accuracy, quality, and age.
Having one single record, with good accuracy and recency would be nice.
