Re: The Taiwanese System
Won't ever happen here the NHS is too scared of change. Having said that they do need to change the mix up with my medication while I was in could have killed. They should at least keep your prescription on hand when they dole out the tablets. An electronic system might be much safer.Re: The Taiwanese System
If they the NHS had done an MRI scan when they said and not wait 9 months until I was in extreme pain they could have saved a fair bit of cash. No, instead it was 2 call outs with an ambulance and a lot of their time wasted. They just don't think of money wasted as it is not theirs.Re: The Taiwanese System
Does the card really have your health information or coding that allows that access on a cloud or other storage? The idea of having all that information on a card and what would happen with a lost or stolen card is concerning.Re: The Taiwanese System
Re: The Taiwanese System
It sounds a great system to me but can you imagine our NHS trying to install and administer it? Remember the last national computer system they tried to install? I think it was abandoned in the end after millions of investment.Re: The Taiwanese System
Similar Idea here , but now our I D card has been scrapped, you just have a personal number which is on say your driving licence or you just quote it to any health dept or Doctor, any business. The health dept, or Hospital can then bring all your details of visits to any Hospital, no waiting for scan results, they are there within a week, all other information is there immediately, but only the heath dept can see details appertaining to them, also business can only see dealings you have had with them. Doctors prescriptions are all now electronic and can be accessed from any pharmacy and repeat items are for twelve months, and the pharmacy can tell you how much you have left so you know when to ask for a repeat from the surgery . With us, as with many we are 30 odd miles from a pharmacy so any medication can be delivered to the local shop for collection or delivered to you if you ask. It is a far cry from what I remember of the U K system .Thread Tools | |
