[QUOTE=Freedom;2347003]Momcat, the move to computerized records is not something any individual doctor, or our PT Marigold, is putting in to place. You have every right to oppose the computerization, and to make that known. I suspect you are bucking the tide on this one, but it is good to have folks like you trying to ensure the integrity of the documentation.
I've written to everyone I can possibly think of in support of HR-2630 The Protect Patients and Physicians Privacy Act. This important bill would allow patients and doctors to opt out of this degrading piece of dehumanizing crap.
This is privileged information, under state and federal law it cannot be entered onto anything without the consent of the individual. This is a violation of federal law! No matter how anyone tries to rationalize this IT IS WRONG! I have no intention of tolerating this intrusion and will do anything and everything I can to fight it. If the non functional illiterates that came up with this ultimately win out at our risk and expense I won't miss jabbing myself with an insulin needle several times a day.
