\"NYTimes<\/a>It’s often hard for our movement to get major media attention, but it looks like it’s happening: things are heating up on the “empire\u00a0strikes back” front that we reported on twice this week.<\/p>\n

Friday’s New York Times, page A30, carried an editorial Roadblocks to Sharing Medical Records<\/a>, about the report ONC sent to Congress last week. (Congress had asked for the report. See our post<\/a> Monday.)<\/p>\n

This is serious stuff, folks – the report said whoever it is (unnamed, so far) is “knowingly interfering” with the exchange of health information. That means they’re preventing patient records from reaching other people who might need them.<\/strong> As the Times editorial and the report say, it appears to be for business reasons, i.e. for their benefit, to the detriment of patient care.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"No<\/a>And in my view personally, this\u00a0has\u00a0<\/em>to be somehow connected with the rule\u00a0change proposed a week ago, in which lobbyists are saying providers\u00a0shouldn’t be required to make it easy for all of us to get our information. That’s the #NoMUwithoutMe campaign, that we posted<\/a> Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Times had a feature article last November, Medical Records: Top Secret<\/a>. Here’s hoping we continue to see growing media coverage – this is serious stuff. Remember: \u00a0No doctor can do what they’re trained to, if they don’t have the facts. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Restricting flow of patient information
\nis not a valid playground
\nfor private business interests.<\/h2>\n

If you want to do that, go find some other industry.<\/p>\n
