Patient Consent Form (Pdf: Fill & Download for Free

It depends on how the concept is executed — particularly how you handle security — but in principle the idea might work. There are some important issues you’d have to address upfront, however, including:How do you get permission to synchronize the records across providers? Privacy and security laws are very strict when it comes to patient consent in these matters.What format would you use to aggregate the records? Bear in mind that these days, records are stored digitally in varied EMRs (electronic medical records systems), and some may not be available as a PDF or Word doc that can be easily synchronized.How would you obtain, use and protect the various IDs needed to access the information for your medical records “Dropbox”? That may not sound like a big deal, but if you’re dealing with thousands of patients, each with accounts on multiple portals, it could be a big deal.Who would pay for the service? From your question I think you’re assuming patients would, but I would test out that notion with real patients before I spent a penny or wrote a line of code. (And if you think hospitals and doctors would pay, think again. They’ve already invested BILLIONS of dollars in other forms of record sharing and aren’t ready to admit they’ve failed.)All told, this is an interesting idea which gets at a very important issue — and could be a major success if you manage to address the kinds of problems I’ve outlined. But bear in mind that the healthcare industry is conservative, highly regulated and surprisingly resistant to change.Yes, you may be able to do this. Just be aware that the problem you’re hoping to solve is an extremely difficult one.
