Q&A with Dr. Danny Z. Sands

by Gus Iversen, Editor in Chief | March 24, 2015

DOTmed News: What does this survey tell us that we may not have known before?

DZS:
I don't think there have been prior cross-sectional surveys of public opinions about the importance of health information exchange, especially about attitudes towards payment for exchanging records.

DOTmed News: How far off into the future is safe, open access to the records physicians need, when they need them?

DZS:
I wish I knew. We have such a dysfunctional health care environment right now. I would hope that with the maturing of health information exchanges, the evolution of the technologies, and perhaps some regulations to mandate information exchange and prohibit usurious business practices for what is obviously a public good that we will have reliable and usable universal health exchange within the next 5-10 years.
