I’ll defer to you as the expert. It seemed that each of those companies presents their data management in ways that confuse a simple doctor like me
Not true, it’s becoming very centralized. 1/3 of healthcare systems are on Epic. As they buy smaller regional hospitals and practices they too get Epic (which is happening, true private practice is rare these days).
Also Epic is cloud based.

Yes, but your PHI is also stored in multiple secondary proprietary clouds before it’s integrated into the user EMR. Any time you’re hooked up the a monitor, you’re “deviced” by a nurse and your data is on a cloud owned by Philips, GE, Mindray, etc
If I could design the whole thing from scratch, I would make a upvotable summary of a patients PMH so that both the docs and the patient can bring what they think it important to the forefront.
My wife still has “history of vaginal birth” as a primary diagnosis on her record after delivering years ago

I have a lot of respect for docs like you who can hear those hoofs and rule out horses to find the zebra.
Most of my patients have defined themselves before I get my hands on them.
Yes. And that’s the thing: most doctors don’t humanize themselves and speak mano a mano to their partner, the patient.
Not saying all cards need to be on the table every visit, but maybe that 30yo contracted syphilis also and now has syphilitic aortitis as the diagnosis for his new onset chest pain
Agreed. But that 30yo might not know that something they are hiding might be an important element in the diagnosis… there should be a flag that indicates to the physician that something is hidden
