What the government should do is to disseminate enough information on each new program and make sure all medical personnel involved should have the patience to inform each patient on the benefits available under these programs. Misinformation on both side would definitely result in confusion.

The government has added laws and its getting crazy. I do hope that this medical reform will work out. People are already getting confused with the new things.

Cathy, you don’t think that with more insured people, your patient volume will not increase by at least 2 patients per day? That’s the idea of the EMR stimulus – to help physicians handle the massive influx of patients that is coming. I would imagine that you will see an increase greater than 2 patients per day within a few years, but I obviously know nothing about your personal practice. All medical offices need more efficiency for what is coming, though, whether you agree with the healthcare reform or not.

As a consultant in the healthcare services for the past 20 years, I have seen a constant eroding of quality of patient care for the need of quantity of patients processed. This pushed on by the constant decreasing reimbursment for services. This new law is a definite path to rationing of healthcare services. No EMR system will change this. The complex communicating and diagnostic systems will not be resolved by the Big Computer in the CLOUD. We continue to give up privacy and this law is a new step toward more of the same. I also hope that voting out all of the dems sill helps repeal this law. I saw this coming but my NO for Obama was not enough.

As Evan has said after the great fight it’s time to put up or shut up. Most specialty groups luckily are very intelligent and have intelligent people working for them that recognize the stupidity of this law. Don’t blame Obama for this, blame both parties to allow this type of legislation to be passed. I do hope you are of the majority in the coming months that will be voting against anyone that voted for medical reform and maybe someday we can get back sanity in our national arena. Oh, and just to make it perfectly clear since I mentioned Obama. I didn’t vote for him.
