There aren’t any ‘charts’ in my hospital system. There’s about 7 computer pages of everything that I’ve been seen for since the system began, even things that were a one-time thing and never appeared again. It lists conditions as well as procedures/surgeries. It also lists allergies, meds and vaccinations. Sometimes I think it’s too much for them to wade through because it’s really extensive, but I’ve been seeing the same docs for a number of years and they pretty much know me. When I see a doc outside of the hospital system, they send any relevant reports to my primary physician who then has it entered into the computer so everyone knows what’s going on. All info is in one place for everyone.
I certainly understand your concern. Paper charts don’t get passed from office to office, so different docs may never see info that they should. I’d think that a hospital system like Orlando Regional Medical Center would have a computerized system. Are any of your docs with them? Maybe you’d like to have at least your primary physician in their system. As time goes on and you see more people, your info would build up and more people would have it at their fingertips.
