Are you worried about the consolidation going on among hospitals i.e the fact that it seems like hospitals are becoming part of a group and thus end up having unified medical record systems?

For example, Palo Alto Medical Foundation has hospitals spread across the Bay Area. Some of the hospitals don't offer all the services but if you walk into a new branch for a specialized treatment, your new doctor will simply look up your old record or order it internally if they are not yet on the network.

Great point. We are seeing ongoing consolidation among hospitals and large physician groups. However, patients still deserve to have easy access to their own data. This is largely handled with patient portals that give patients access to some of your data. PatientBank gives you full control of your complete record, including information not necessarily located in your patient portals and information located in separate systems that do not communicate.
