My doc's receptionionst tried to bill me for a missed appointment; I presented her with a list of the time Io'd spebnt waiting past my given appointmenmt slot, & it added up to more than the 24 hours notification required. She said she'd need to discuss it with her boss (my doctor, who told heer to back off, then asked me if discplinary action was needed; I said no, she was only trying to do her job as the schools trained. . .) > There is one area hospital, whose IT department, let alone the hospital > staff have no idea how to update, add, or correct the patients data records. > I've provided a full medlist, with notations of surgeries and procedures > that have been done...yet, their website says they're not.

Mayhaps they're offering this web-based lookup to patients as a free service & giving all y'all exactly what you've paid for? You could work a deal whereby you suggest how to monetize it, in exchange for free use for life. Easily monetized; at time of bill payment, they can add a flat fee or percentage to give 6 months' online access to one's own record. Get that contract signed ASAP so you have free access to your records in any form/location, for life, before someone uses access to give a lawyer access enough to mount an expensive post-surgery lawsuit. This way whe they close the web portal to all, you'll still get free access to Medical Records for printouts whenever you request such. They've charged me over $100 for a 4-page PDF! (not mine, & I didn't pay -- 'twas for an insurance company client who agreed to the cost) Normally they';re happy with the Discxharge Summaerty thAt I send them; this time they wanted the full set of records for that patient. My job's not to argue; my job was only to present to them the requested data within the requested deadline. Fun times; I'm not upset I'm out of Operations now, though -- it was gfun, but it was a lot of work, too. . . shuffling 10-20 open files, keeping communicatinos going in all, outgoing & incoming, phone, fax, &/or emails. . .. I did it, because that was my job! Now the younger, Spanish speaking case managers, can do it. . . not funny. . ok, here's some funny. . . Q: Why did the scarecrow get the job promotion? A: He was outstanding in his field. Today I told my dad I got a job promotion. >Me: Dad, I just got a new job and the only applicants were me, myself, and I. >Dad: So you were the best candidate. >Me: Well no, Me and Myself declined the job, so of course I took it. Not often I can dadjoke the old man -- it sure felt good, though! I got promoted at my job and my new office is up in a tree house. I am a branch manager.
