The downside of Digital Medical records

[Racket_Man]

is that they can be hacked.

and this is why my digital copy of my medical records is in my own possession. Before I got out of the Navy, I scanned all of my medical files.

That's why a doctor keeping records in electronic form needs to have the system holding the records protected by an "air gap". If net access is needed, have 2 systems and a KVM switch, but the system with the records is not CAPABLE of being accessed over the net, no matter how badly compromised the "net-connected" machine is.

Interesting discussion but I think this would be better for Fratching.
