Turns out there are other ways to do it. I actually managed the four-letter app but it refused to detect that my partner has a face. Because he has a beard.
I've been at both ends of the stethoscope. Over-reliance on record leads to unhelpful assumptions. Not reading them leads to missing important stuff. Expecting patient to remember date & name of operation + pathology findings is unrealistic. I'm sure you do read notes. Surprised how many don't.
Think about this. It is important. And a bit boring.
We need human beings working in services with time & inclination to read as well as write in records. Even in a single Trust, patients too often asked details about operations, or examination findings that they couldn't know. I doubt the solution is energy & water consuming, military grade tech.
Are there still significant regional and local variations? Cornwall, a place you know well, has experienced longer ambulance waits than most. Also seems to be one of the worst for corridor, care which is not just Emergency Department waits but 'temporary' extra beds on almost every ward.
I'm looking for good recent article, by a human, in reputable journal about how docs (hospital or GP) approach patients in last year of life dying from causes other than cancer or dementia. Ideas? Names to look out for?
I know how to use medline, but most of what I find is on cancer.
Does every clinician I see in hospital really have access to my GP record? My experience as a patient is that they don'tt know, & sometimes doubt, my past medical history. It seems it's my responsibility to remember . It may be that the info is there but unread, if so, tech won't solve the problem.
Lots of "commentators" are rewarded for spreading lies and convincing you that everything is getting worse and you should be afraid. The good news is it's not: homicides at their lowest level in 50 years and killings involving a knife are at their lowest recorded level
