Next anecdote about poorly managed medical data:
Amen!
Just had an incident where my SS# was attached to a different patient’s name in the electronic med record. And the health facility will not tell me where the error occured, or how long someone else’s name was linked to my ss# and my medical record. Discovered accidentally when the lead attendant called me by the wrong name…. The hospital ethics person states only that they have taken care of it and counseled the individual involved!
Then try reviewing your own EMR. They act like you are neurotic even though the reason is that your record had been mixed up with another person…duh!
Lots of errors/lots of privacy issues.
