This wonderful technology that we have is a great thing. Yet, regarding patient confidentiality, patient input and patients seeing their medical records, is this a game-changer in the digitisation of medical records? Obviously, what goes on is still basically paper based. Most medical records can now be done in real time, not only for the doctor or the nurse, but also for the patient. Does this change the dynamic of the relationship between doctor, patient and so forth in relation to digitisation?
