Assuming that security and privacy can be guaranteed, are you in favor of a universal online EMR system that is accessible by patients and by all doctors and hospitals that patients give access to?

2.	6/11/2008 12:41:00 PM	NA
3.	6/11/2008 2:09:00 PM	some system, but I doubt security
4.	6/11/2008 3:25:00 PM	Security and privacy cannot be guaranteed on such a public access venue.
5.	6/11/2008 3:25:00 PM	Security and privacy cannot be guaranteed on such a public access venue.
6.	6/11/2008 4:00:00 PM	yes so long as it is NOT abused by insurance companies
7.	6/12/2008 12:58:00 AM	Not without compensation, or a significant reduction in cost to me of the system
8.	6/12/2008 4:37:00 AM	NO NO NO this is more money/time taken out of patient care
9.	6/12/2008 11:59:00 AM	Good luck on that.
10.	6/12/2008 5:47:00 PM	Uncertain
11.	6/14/2008 2:23:00 AM	This would massively increase cost and decrease productivity
12.	6/18/2008 6:34:00 PM	security and privacy can NEVER be guaranteed
13.	6/23/2008 3:03:00 PM	not by the patient
14.	6/24/2008 3:02:00 AM	But through private industry not the government.
15.	6/25/2008 2:28:00 AM	as long it is not mandated
16.	6/26/2008 2:07:00 AM	Better if patient access only in context of a physician present to interpret and answer questions. Would be very difficult to "assume" security or privacy if any patient (or whomever is using their computer) could access information directly without violating privacy laws and causing confusion.
