    The problems that Regina and her husband experienced is a combination of outdated , patriarchal professional health institutions, i.e. hospitals, medical practices, etc., policies, siloed departments, disconnected systems, and sub-par EHR technology. But, first and foremost, the people who could make records readily available simply choose not to because of “policy.” It originates with administrators who don’t want to lose control of patients, in every way, not the least of which is mercenary.

    sorry to hear about your husband. it sounds to me like the problem was the hospital policy, NOT the type of record keeping. they could also choose not to give you the record if it was electronic. it had nothing to do with “electronic” vs “not electronic”. also, the medical record would not make me feel “whole”. i would feel more whole if patients were encouraged to participate through being educated throughout their lives, rather than “go stand in the corner”.
