I think you are confusing my concern about having national databases that
store records of patients from all of their physicians, no matter what system
they are in, and those that are for a system, be it a doctors office, or in
this case, the VA system. I would not expect Kaiser, for example, not to
have a national system and anyone choosing that insurer is buying into that,
just like the VA.
Has anyone heard if the health department in NY City succeeded in hijacking
the lab results records of its citizens or not? I surely hope not.

I must be missing something. A little while back, I remember you
flatly saying there is no medical justification for replicating
records across facilities. I'm not a doctor, but that was a little
surprising to me. If a veteran is evacuated from Biloxi in the wake
of Katrina, then how is having access to his or her medical record of
no medical value? My assumption was that the concern here was for
privacy (which is no small matter), and that was the reason for my
allusion to privacy concerns in my message.
