walk into any Primary store and the docs would have full
access to your medical record. It would even give Bateman an opportunity
to enter the specialist market since there would be advantages in
vertical integration.
Specialists of any calibre tend not to be associated with medical
centres imho.
The future is specialists forming their own groups with shared
resources, multidisciplinary care and having it owned by the Drs not a
corporate. We have all seen our radiology and pathology colleagues sell
the farm and end up disgruntled labourers.
The integration that is more likely to occur is specialists sharing adn
EHR and possibily extending it into hospital care with electronic
discharges as I have mentioned previously.
Another option we are investigating is a web interface to our EHR that
will allow GPs to logon and look up their patients results adn reports
and make appointments .. dont need to all be owned by the same corporate
or use the same EMR to make it happen .. stay tuned hopefully working by
second half of the yr.
