New Law Vastly Improves Transparency in Doctor-Caregiver Communication
|
Q. I regularly accompany my wife, Liz, to her neurology and primary care appointments for her dementia care. Doctors, nurses and medical assistants often rush in and out rarely spending time or make eye contact with us. Instead, they stare at their computer screens, even before they sit down. What could be so interesting on those screens? Is there any way to find out what is written in the notes about
my wife’s condition that these health care professionals can see but aren't sharing with us? My wife and I both signed forms that medical information could be shared with one another, when she was of sound mind. How come they still don’t share everything? Thanks for your help!
