All my docs are at NW Medicine in Chicago, including all specialists, surgeons, etc. Portal works like a dream. We need laws governing medical records so there is a national database which has all your medical records in one place. People move, travel, go to different hospitals so we need to insure docs have acess to all records, not just the ones at one healthcare facility.

Amen. Any database person would say the same. The benefit is enormous. When there is a central database and information from tests is entered based on consistent proper segmentation, it is easy for the doc to pull up an historic perspective of your bloodwork or whatever and see any changes that would be insightful. Already some places allow you to compare test results over time. Unfortunately, they can't reflect same test in different organization. But it is something that can be done easily from technical perspective!!!!
