Medical Papers - Read More About Them - Health

Chances are that if you are going to a new doctor or visiting a doctor that you haven't seen in a long time or for a while, you are often asked to complete a medical history form that asks about the illnesses, conditions, operations, medictations (both prescribed and over-the-counter), and supplements as well as any family history of illnesses, causes of death, and other medical facts that your doctor might need to know. The term "medical paper" could apply to a medical research paper, an essay on medical conditions and such, medical printer paper, medical transcription paper, monitoring paper, and chart paper, but even that is going to the wayside of the electronical age. As the electronic age progresses and evolves in its own right, papers (including medical papers) are going to be obsolete in the name of enviromentalism and other money saving ideas that would make all of us depend upon computers without having to lift a pen ever again. By electronically storing your med ical records without using medical papers, your medical information is stored deep within the electronical, wiry confines of the computer that can be accessed by any medical professional all over the United States, perhaps the whole world. Imagine, going to a medical clinic somewhere away from home and all you have to do is to show proof of identification as well as proof of insurance without having to go through the drawn out minutes of filling paperwork ever again! But with the good comes the bad, a fact that can worry the living daylights out of you. With electronic "paperwork", anyone can gain access to your medical records as well as anybody else's, which is good and bad in their own prospective rights, so privacy issues are a big concern for patients and healthcare providers alike. The computer's Internet is a vast and strange sea that makes the watery sea look like a pond, but there are other aspects that might help your medical records travel through safer means that continue to keep evolving on its own right as well. Thanks to the privacy constraints, which helps to prevent unauthorized access to one's electronic medical records, you as a patient could get electronic copies of your own medical records and have them sent directly over to a doctor, hospital, or other designated recipient that you allow to have your electronic records sent to. With electronic medical records, your doctor and/or healthcare provider can avoid any duplication of tests (including MRIs, blood tests, and such), reduce medical errors, encourage better self-care, encourage safer surgeries, improve the care of your chronic illnesses (if you have any), and identifying the right drug and dose. But as with every electronic improvement, there are plenty of reasons to worry about this age and plenty of reasons to enjoy the age of computers, it's just getting rid of the kinks along the way.
