My medical history for the past 20 years has been digitized. Doctors no longer need to access paper files except in extraordinary circumstances. I have on-line access to pharmacies, test results, doctors via e-mail, making appointments, etc. Finally, because I'm going on an overseas trip, I have been provided with a flash drive containing my medical record in PDF format, and this for only five dollars. I'm impressed! I believe that Kaiser Permanente will save large amounts of money and professional time having implemented this integrated medical system. [I'm not associated with Kaiser Permanente except as a member patient.] Your writer should be aware that Kaiser Permanente in Northern California is well advanced toward the goal of digitized and networked medical systems.
