Can you relate to any of these situations ?

• Going on holiday and suddenly falling ill and wishing the doctor could see your medical records
   
• Going to see a specialist at the hospital and it becomes apparent that he does not know what has been happening to you since your doctor referred you to him
   
• A nurse is asked to give treatment to a loved one in a nursing home and she has no idea why she is giving the treatment other than being told that she needs to do it 
   
• You are rushed into hospital with a suspected heart attack in the middle of the night and have no information to give to the nurse or doctor that is expected to look after you until the surgery opens
   
• Wondering what your doctor or nurse really thinks of you as you walk out of the consulting room and they are busy typing away in your medical record
