LOL...I've only been going to the Marshfield Clinic for 10 years and

have 4 charts that are about 6 inches high when stacked on top of

each other. Good thing he doesn't ask for ALL the records. At .10

cents a page that could cost as much as the surgery!!!!! 8^) I paid

for 50 pages and hopefully they won't need to copy more than that.

Take a look at this website http://www.rushcliff.com/pps/index.html

They produce a medical records database for multiple locations, with

central data storage, which may just be what your looking for.

This is something that I looked at some time ago for a similar situation as

yourself, although it didn't develop into anything due to lack of support

from onshore.

I had some communcations with the company and it looked as if it would do

the job

The licencing isn't too expensive.

Good morning all from a stormy North Sea. I am currently looking into

the issue of medical records software for use in the field.

What we are after is a database for recording patient consultations,

examinations, health surveillance etc. We do not need anything too

complex - simple is always good in my opinion... We require a system

which will allow all patients to be logged centrally as we like many

have a large number of personnel moving about the field.

One of my colleagues is looking at bespoke systems whereas I am trying

to find an off the shelf system that will meet our needs.

If any of you could share any thoughts, leads or advice on this I would

be very grateful.

Thanks in anticipation

I would consider looking at the document that was recently posted on this site

from I think 2006 that puts an outline together of HOW TO Diagnose treat PIDs.

It was Fantastic because it was EXPLICIT about aggressive use of antibiotics

with these kids etc etc. You might just say you found it and thought it might be

helpful to her because it has a very clear course of treatment and that it is

put out from Asthma, Allergy and Immunologist Association. It may not be as

awkward as specifically confronting. But instead reinforcing the standard of

care that you expect for you sons. If you did not download it let me know I

should be able to pull it up for you.

Ok I want to pose an interesting question, and am interested in peoples views.No

rights or wrongs I just want others opinions.

So I am collecting more of my kids records as Max and will be going to

National Jewish in September for a 2nd opinion by an immunologist there. I am

hand deliviering the records next week.

As I was looking through the peds records ( this is a new ped to us as we just

moved from MN to NM in April and have only had this ped since May) I saw some

comments and notations regarding my sons that proves she not only does not

understand PIDD, but that she also has not been listening to what I've been

saying about the boys' history. Nor has she spoken with our previous

pediatricians (whom I adored) like she stated she would. Had she talked to our

old peds they would have been able to explain them and the reasons why we treat

so aggressively etc.

That said... I am wondering if I should confront this ped aobut these notations

and why she hasn't called our old ped etc. etc. I don't want to switch peds

AGAIN (this is our 2nd one in NM the 1st did NOT work out well at all) so I

really would rather get her on the same page if I can. One of the comments that

really bothered me was that she stated that she didn't want to keep " throwing

antibiotics at them " because she is unsure of their specific type of immune

deficiency and if she knew what she was dealing with she would be more

comfortable.

Thank you for listening to me vent. I am so frustrated I could scream!!! We have

worked very hard in the past to keep our kids looking so healthy, and I feel I

have to jepordize that to get these people to listen.

if you can find it I would appreciate it, I don't have it.

That would be a great way to help me reinforce my expectations, without

seemingly overly biased and have hard core facts besides.

When I tried it, I couldn't either. Type in " Practice Parameter for

engine.. Choose the one that has guideline.gov/summary...

I just wanted to make sure that you knew about #2 (below). Also, please know

that a good specialist has usually " seen it all " and knows that you're there

because you received unsatisfactory or incomplete care. They typically put more

stock into " objective data " like labs, CT scans, etc. Still, you could talk

with the nurse at National Jewish if you are concerned...and express that some

of the records are not accurate and see how the docs deal with that. If there

is something they'd like you to do...

(see below)

_____________

This comes from the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services, Office of Civil

Rights

http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa/consumer_rights.pdf

This is a brief summary of your rights and protections under the federal health

information privacy law.

Providers and health insurers who are required to follow this law must comply

with your right to:

1. Ask to see and get a copy of your health records (within 30 days, but this

can be extended for another 30 days if you are given a reason.)

2. Have corrections added to your health information.You can ask to change any

wrong information in your file or add information to your file if it is

incomplete. For example, if you and your hospital agree that your file has the

wrong result for a test, the hospital must change it. Even if the hospital

believes the test result is correct, you still have the right to have your

disagreement noted in your file. In most cases the file should be changed within

60 days, but the hospital can take an extra 30 days if you are given a reason.

3. Receive a notice that tells you how your health information is used and

shared. You can learn how your health information is used and shared by your

provider or health insurer. They must give you a notice that tells you how they

may use and share your health information and how you can exercise your rights.

In most cases, you should get this notice on your first visit to a provider or

in the mail from your health insurer, and you can ask for a copy at any time.

Get a report on when and why your health information was shared. You can get

this report for free once a year.

4. You can ask your provider or health insurer not to share your health

information with certain people, groups, or companies. For example, if you go to

a clinic, you could ask the doctor not to share your medical record with other

doctors or nurses in the clinic. However, they do not have to agree to do what

you ask. File complaints If you believe your information was used or shared in a

way that is not allowed under the privacy law, or if you were not able to

exercise your rights, you can file a complaint with your provider or health

insurer. The privacy notice you receive from them will tell you who to talk to

and how to file a complaint. You can also file a complaint with U.S. Government.

[Guest guest]

Oh my goodnes, YES! I would ask why. You are to be a team, and and Max need

to be followed very closly. She can NOT drop the ball with them. Here is the

good old... " sick, but not " that I hate. Is there a tactfull way, maybe through

e-mail, that you can ask her?

Just my two cents because I have followed your kiddos for about a year and would

not like to be placated in any situation, but especially not with my children's

health.

About 5 years ago when I was trying to get hold of records from one of my drs.,

I was told that they were sent off-site to a warehouse. It would take quite

awhile to procure them as the dr. had a large practice, even though it was just

himself and one other dr. He also did lab work and x-rays on site, so he was

very popular, in Las Vegas that's not the norm-you see a primary care dr. and

then get an appt. with a separate lab to do lab. and x-rays. So I had to wait a

couple months while they went digging in the warehouse for my files and all that

came with it. I saw him for many years, so I had more than one file. Maybe

that's what's taking awhile for you to receive your records. A lot of offices

just don't have the space to keep all their patients' files onsite.I'm clueless

on how you'd know if you had received all your info. Through the years I've just

kept a journal of what procedure or surgery was done, when and where it was done

and what medications

I'm currently taking. Maybe someone else in this group can help you out with

the information you need? Good luck in your search

Sincerely

 

Jeannie

they are being sent to your doctor's office.

,

the medical records are your personal property...i once had to confront anoffice

that i paid for them and they were my property...they proptly suplied them .

AQre you familiar with H.I.P.A act? It has to do with records and privacy and

access. It has been in effect only a few months but it confirms those records

are yours and no one elses and makes it more dificult for anyone to see them

with out YOUR permision.  MY wife works in health care in EMR (Electronic

Medical Records) where the records are computer accessable anywhere with your

permission like at the ER so they can see your problems and meds list ect so to

better deal with the problem at hand. I will ask her about it and her Email is

enlighten you better than me as rights and proccesses and laws.

The current discussion about keeping x-rays reminded me of a question I have

regarding medical records. Over the past year, my doctors have been treating me

for herniated discs in my lumbar spine. This is a recurring problem. I

previously had a herniated disc in 1996 for which I had surgery. And I also had

two other surgeries on my back relating to scoliosis. I've recently been trying

to obtain copies of my prior medical records, so I am able to provide my doctor

with important information (e.g. which disc was previously herniated, what

levels were fused during my scoliosis surgery, prior medications, and important

dates). However, I've been having difficulty obtaining those records. I

submitted requests to four different hospitals / medical care groups, and have

only received records from one so far. The requests were sent about a month ago.

The dates of care covered are 1992-present. The records I received were from

care at one hospital from

1992-2000. However, the amount of records they sent me seems very thin, and

doesn't include reports from imaging studies I know they did (I did specifically

request this information) .

I'm sure someone (or many of you) here has dealt with obtaining medical records.

Do you have any suggestions for me? Is it typically for them to take so long?

What do I need to do to ensure that I receive all of my records?

Thanks,

Also, if you have a lawyer he can request the same files with no cost if they

are sent to him.

I think most of you know that I am taking my daughter for a second opinion on

her arthritis treatment next Tuesday. For the past 11 months or so I have been

wanting to make a 3-ring binder of all her medical info that I can get my hands

on (and fit into a binder - something about those 16x20 xrays won't fit!). So

far for her appointment I have a current med list, lab results, imaging/test

results (xrays, MRI, and EMG), therapy notes, and doctor's notes from her office

visits. I'm working on a huge list of questions and ideas to talk about with the

new doctor as well. Is there anything else you can think of that I should

include/get copies of? The last time I asked for a second opinion for her, all I

had to carry with me was 6 x-ray pictures. Now I would need half a ream of paper

to reproduce what she has! When we saw her first peds rheumy I had asked several

times for her records to be faxed from two different places and when we arrived

all the doctor had to look at was the last two pages of her therapy

evaluation!!! Really frustrating! I'm not going to drive 3 hours from my home to

see a doc for her and him not have anything to go on.

answers soon!)

[Guest guest]

Dear , the Rotweiler

Go Girl. I am praying that this rheumy will have time to listen to you and look

at what you have for him/her to see. Most of all I pray that they will look at

is completly and give her the care she deserves. I have been so blessed to

have a good rheumy for Jaye. Actually we are blessed to have an awesom

neurologist and pediatrician also that give us all the time we need for each

appointment. If you do not get all the answers you want on the first visit give

this one a chance to digest all that you give him. I assume that you are making

a copy to leave with them and not going to give them your only copy of

information. You have to be patient yet persistant and demanding all at the same

time. A good rheumy will talk alot to is and ask her questions as well as

you. We get the time we need from our rheumy, but our first rheumatologist would

maybe give us 10 minutes tops and that is not a joke. Sometimes we were lucky

to have her in the room with us for more then five minutes. Our current rheumy

looks at every joint. He checks out each finger and each joint in each finger,

he checks out each toe, he is very thourough and we are blessed to have him. I

actually think that most of the pediatric rheumys out there are that good. There

are just a few that do not really have what it takes to work with kids, or

should I say the rotweillers that come attached to the kids. Be sure to let us

know how it goes.

new doctor as well. Is there anything else you can think of that I should

include/get copies of? The last time I asked for a second opinion for her, all I

had to carry with me was 6 x-ray pictures. Now I would need half a ream of paper

to reproduce what she has! When we saw her first peds rheumy I had asked several

times for her records to be faxed from two different places and when we arrived

all the doctor had to look at was the last two pages of her therapy

evaluation!!! Really frustrating! I'm not going to drive 3 hours from my home to

see a doc for her and him not have anything to go on.

answers soon!)
