If you had the chance to look at what your physician wrote in your medical record about your last visit, would you take advantage of it? Would this make your relationship with your doctor or primary care provider more collaborative? More effective? These are just some of the important questions and issues bearing down on our health care system as an online universe and electronic medical records make shared viewing of what are often referred to as the “doctor’s notes” feasible. What’s contained in the notes and does transparency interfere in any way with their value?

WIHI: Next Waves of Health Care Reform
Tuesday Jun 27, 2017
Tuesday Jun 27, 2017
- Paul O’Neill, former US Treasury Secretary
- Jim Conway, IHI Senior Vice President and IHI representative on the Massachusetts Health Care Quality and Cost Council
The US Congress and the Obama administration seem poised to pass major legislation to ensure that more of its citizens have health insurance and to slow the spending of one of the most expensive health care systems in the world. This dual (and sometimes “dueling”) agenda can only succeed, most experts agree, if principles of health care improvement and system redesign become part of not just Washington’s strategy, but that of the country as a whole. Where is the evidence that this is the direction we’re moving in? WIHI host Madge Kaplan has a lively discussion with Jim Conway and Paul O’Neill about the unfolding of health care reform and how leading ideas, proven methods, and institutions from the world of quality improvement and patient safety can broaden and deepen the agenda for change.
- Read the New York Times opinion piece by Paul O'Neill.
- Read Jim Conway's testimony on national health care reform to the Massachusetts Senate Committee.
