Oh boy... an entire third of the population of Singapore just got their health records hacked! Bet that news doesn't go down well in nearby(ish) Australia, where Tim Kelsey is busily trying to do to them what he previously tried to do to us in the UK:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/world-asia-44900507?__twitter_impression=true …

I think we’ll have to move to individuals being responsible for looking after their own health record, either paper-based or electronic. Potential huge risk to effective care, but at least patient will be in charge of it

I'd have to agree now. Esp with the safe space juggernaut showing no signs of slowing down. Undoubtedly it comes with risk, but it's probably the risk I'd choose out of the available options.

That makes sense. I'm sure we're both influenced by personal experience. You've seen what happens when HCPs can't access critical records and I've seen what happens when complainants can't do so. None of the possible options give me a warm fuzzy feeling just yet.

I think the issue is that there's a range of circumstances and everyone has particular priorities. There's a problem with variable understanding and opinion on what health records are for and whose property they are, which needs ironing out before any changes IMO

Spot on. HCP need for timely access and patient need for assurance of fraud-proof, accurate medical records need not be mutually exclusive. As long as both are included in the thinking.
