This summer every household in England should receive a leaflet
explaining the NHS's plan to make their health records accessible
electronically. The new care records service will enable the
computerised booking of appointments (based on patients' choice),
electronic prescribing, the automatic transfer of complete records
between general practitioners when a patient moves, as well as providing
instant medical data when needed for emergency care.
Yes,
All we need now is a government that believes in public infrastructure
and we might eventually do something similar.
Oh, and perhaps one less tier of government, so that 'it' perceives that
it is responsible for health provision to its citizens, which the UK
government obviously does.
