Consider this: I can go to Antarctica and get cash from an ATM without a glitch but should I fall ill during my travels a hospital there could not access my medical records or know what medications I am on.

If one of us any of us any American is traveling in a town somewhere in America and a medical crisis hits them for someone who is diabetic or perhaps has heart disease or some other problems where do we get the records to determine what to do?

The current medical records system is this: Room after room after room in a hospital filled with paper files.

With tens of thousands of patients dying every year from preventable medical errors it is imperative that we embrace available technologies and drastically improve the way medical records are handled and processed.

In our own state we came up with I think what was a very novel approach to closing the gap on the uninsured. To harmonize medical records - which was a major step in getting costs out of the system.

And as a nurse I know very well the importance for example of electronic medical records.

I worked with John but I had enough sense to walk just a little ways behind him. I could have made more records but I wanted to have a marriage.

The real violence is committed in the writing of history the records of the legal system the reporting of news through the manipulation of social contracts and the control of information.

Every time you go in it's like starting over. You don't know how you did the other records. You're learning all over. It's some weird musician amnesia or maybe the road wipes it out.

I feel like that I'm learning all the time. I'm learning from new artists from established artists... every time I listen to '70s rock 'n' roll records I'm learning. And I think that I'm just now starting to get a hold on what I do.
