Better standard of care all round, blood tests/imaging tests seen straight away, you'd see where symptoms have been discussed previously which may have been dismissed but are actually relevant when looking at the bigger picture... it would just be awesome!
And in the case of my clinics, dealing with possible fabricated illness, child abuse and chronic fatigue with strong history of lack of engagement... all this could be seen, everyone would know... children would be that much better protected because the more the professionals know the more you can safeguard and all highlight the same concerns.
Like I said, just wonderful.

One of my last jobs in the nHS was working on implementing a common health record across Hampshire. We partially succeeded but the National IT Procurement system was such carp that it went massively over budget and the national project got shelved.....We had a big problem with child protection here because the health CP service and the Social Services required to keep their records confidential....go figure.....
It's relaxing more now woof thankfully, or at least I've never had a problem getting information from them and we try to be helpful too. But I just have this vision of medical professionals actually having all the info they need in front of them.
I think people sometimes have the impression that medical professionals sit there going through their notes with a fine tooth comb, rather than the actual which is you look for the piece of information relevant to you, and then move on to next patient. I don't know anyone who would have time to read who sets of notes just out of nosiness! But that's the impression I get of what people think I/we/anyone with access to notes does.

Oh, how I wish my medical records were all available to local hospitals and that they could get a complete picture. It would save so much wasted time. I think in our area that system was to be in operation, but technical issues caused problems. I dread the fact that I might be in an accident or seriously ill and unable to communicate and be given morphine or codeine both of which I cannot tolerate and make me halicinate badly. That is just an example.
On thinking about it I think the system in Hampshire that Woofy was involved with was the government system that should have happened here in Norfolk.

I'm not clinical Zac, I should have been clearer, I mean that people like receptionists, ward clerks etc, those of us who probably handle the notes more than most, wouldn't have time to sit their reading through your whole history. And even medical professionals would filter the info, I mean your gynae probably wouldn't be massively interested in your recent dental work but may well have a read through notes made by your midwife if you gave birth... that sort of thing :c)
And the sharing of information is for all the reasons above.
