The New Health Care System: Confidential Medical Records

Read Time:1 Minute, 55 Second

One of the major concerns involving the use of large computer systems in processing medical data is the concern of compromising personal confidential health data.

The storage of confidential medical records in large computer systems could be prone to abuse, either by big business or government agencies.

In the design of the proposed system great care was taken to avoid those shortcomings in three major areas–there is no accumulation of individual health records, no storage of any confidential medical records in any state diagnostic or national research computers, and furthermore the proposed system doesn’t even transfer any confidential patient data. All patient confidential records would retained in the doctor’s office, the same as the current policy, and the doctor would still maintain control over those records. Furthermore, there is an additional feature within the proposed system that would provide far more protection over the medical records even in the doctor’s office

One of the reasons there is such a need for this type of computer system design is because there is a critical need for a large and powerful computer system that has the capacity to process huge amounts of health data. Such a system could dramatically improve our lives by; increasing our level of wellness, dramatically reducing the high level of disease, and the cost of health care.

Imagine not having to live with the day to day concern over your health and the health of your loved ones, along with the very high cost of health insurance? The difference in the cost of health care savings alone could easily provide for luxurious annual vacations, new cars, or even a better home.

Electronic applications in the medical field began in the www.cbdhint.com but became far more popular during the 1980s. Those electronic applications were in the form of sophisticated electronically operated machines and tools such as cat-scans X-rays and sophisticated surgical tools, much of the electronics was in the form of micro computers. Computers applications can be every bit as effective in disease prevention and wellness development, but in a completely different way–through the application of the computer’s assimilative and correlative powers. Supercomputers would also need to be employed because of the massive amount of health data needed to be processed and related to human health.
