WHY DO WE DO THIS?
EVERY DOCTOR VISIT ALWAYS STARTS THE SAME (INEFFICIENT) WAY
BY KENNETH L. HILL, JR., MD, FAANS
As a physician with nearly 20 years of experience in neurosurgery, I know there is extreme frustration in dealing with the bureaucracy of healthcare, among other issues. This bureaucracy is extremely broad and open-ended; however, I am currently speaking specifically to the administrative process and the paperwork associated with the check-in process and obtaining health history information from the patient. Personally, I believe that this even starts prior to the patient exam, and I could argue before the visit altogether.

Improving efficiency and decreasing medical paper waste secondary to the implementation of MĪNA® Health
The medical health history is a standard set of information that is required by health care providers to provide high level individualized care to patients. The personal health record guides medical decision making based on previous vital encounters with healthcare personnel. This information is required for every health care provider, including but not limited to dentists, chiropractors, specialty physicians, emergency room providers and general practitioners. Even though a particular individual’s health history may not always be extensive, it includes information that is relevant to each patient encounter.
