Safety of Medical Records Online?

There is no doubt that Medical Records will be made available online. There is a lot of concern by professionals and patients regarding safety and privacy. After doing some research I found Me911 and they seem to have the solution to this problem! They allow you to create a profile only adding what you feel is important for Emergency workers to treat you, they allow you to steer them to the hospital where your records are so they can formally request them, and for your safety they notify you via email and text message anytime your information is viewed.

Comfort Medicine, you dont want it!

During hurricane Katrina I witnessed what was called comfort medicine being practiced. Medical facilities were overwhelmed and had no way of obtaining information on patients they were treating. With patients unable to tell Physicians what medications and dosages they were taking, physicians could only give treatment to comfort patients rather than treat the problems.
