@stacksofplates said in Looking to Buy a SAN:
I went to a Dr's office before my surgery and the hospital has a giant network where they can give you results and everything through their app/web portal.
We have that too. Our results and your records are available in our patient portal - a website, no app at this time.
The dr I went to literally said "oh we don't use apps here" and they required the hospital to fax them the information. It took like 3 weeks to get the info to them because they kept screwing up. There may be people out there that like the offices that are like that but I'm definitely not one of them.
We're not that bad, no where near. We have access to a local system called NeHII - it's a health interchange between all Nebraska hospital system - and it's an opt-out system for the patients (and you're barely made aware of it when visiting a hospital or any affiliated clinical office).
Additionally, since my providers have privileges to almost all of the local health systems around town, our staff have direct access to those medical records systems to pull data without needing to make a request and waiting on whatever form of data transfer might happen. Of course, that said, the data is typically extracted as a PDF and uploaded as such to our EHR, so no discreet data, but at least we generally have fast access to it.
