On Monday, Andrew Miller wrote disparagingly of the glacial pace of development of an EMR. That is, he wants rapid development of a State-wide Electronic Medical Records system.
All of our medical records online, available immediately to any and every medical professional in the state.
One source, one storage site, one point of access for all of our private medical data.
May as well paint a target on the side of the computer. With a post-it note, Hackers enter here.
Mark Twain said, Put all your eggs in one basket -- and watch that basket.
With electronic storage -- today's basket -- we know that that does not work.
No matter how carefully we watch our electronic basket, someone else can steal the data.
When the State-wide medical records system is hacked... Goodbye to all our privacy.
There are better solutions.
