Why do doctors order medical tests, then don't look at the results until you come in again for an appointment? What if there was something out of whack that should be addressed?
Ok, there is a nurse who looks over all the test results and lets the Dr. know if there is a problem.
There's a big difference between caring and being efficient, it's just good business.I am amazed at all these doctors that actually seem to care about their patients!
Kaiser Permanente sends me automatic emails when test results are in. Test results and doctor visit summaries are also posted immediately on an on-line patient portal.
I've had Kaiser for 3 years and all my test results and history are available for me to review my medical history including diagnoses, weight, BP, blood test results, etc. for that entire period.
