Suppose at noon eastern time on the first of each month, everyone in the country was to stand in the street and sing the same song really loud and together. No matter where you were or what you were doing you would hear these voices. That’s how we get healthcare to change for US!
Eric Topol, MD, in his book, “The Patient Will See You Now” describes such a world. I highly recommend this book as Dr. Topol is far ahead of his time with his visionary outlook. This is only a world that can be created by all of us working together.
The technology is in place today, as we helped architect it and build it. We make our money from healthcare, so for Precision this is not about making money at all, but rather causing great change for the good of mankind, hence the nonprofit, PROACT.
To further make this point, when was the last time you saw a nonprofit NOT seeking donations? Probably never. We do not! We own the technology and want to direct it to the benefit of an improved system, but WE NEED YOUR VOICE!!
In this “Cancel Culture” world, standing on a soapbox and demanding your given rights for a good cause is the accepted norm. This is something exceptional that we can all do together and make a change very quickly. How?
The nonprofit message to the entire healthcare community (physicians, hospitals, healthcare organizations, employers, insurance companies, etc.) from the population at large is simple; “Where do you stand on patient’s rights to own and store their personal medical records on their phones and devices outside of your password protected patient portals?”
Now that we have said this, I want to say that healthcare is not the big bad wolf. In fact, they would love this change, but nobody has yet forced them to make it, and as we said, healthcare won’t change itself. We must get up on our soapbox and in a loud and consistent voice, demand this change. Healthcare organizations must go on record publicly with their stance to our demands. We will list those who do on our website and in our messaging.
In response to our joint challenge, healthcare should and will likely respond, “We fully support these rights as this process makes it much easier for us to serve you. Our legal limitations in the past have been to protect your privacy, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t personally have control outside of our password protected portals. The Precision Health Access app is free and storage on your device is free, and we happily encourage you to take advantage of this empowerment tool.”
NOW we can really move fast to make this a reality. That reality is the information on your phone goes directly into their Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems instantly. Thank you in advance for your support. Together we can make this happen and happen fast. The day you download the app you can take a printed record to your next appointment. Not too long after that you will be able to make paperless transfers forever.
