In defense of the internist's office, maybe our records got lost in the shuffle when they moved to a more computer-based system, but I remember from my growing up years that the dermatologist's office in which my mother worked had records of patietns that appeared to be many years old. In any case, I think that retailer based clinics may also be able to provide good preventive care. That simply was not the question asked by the researchhers for the present study.Kevin Frickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397912695107883192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153371977147923076.post-48299437834661468622009-09-15T22:04:08.759-04:002009-09-15T22:04:08.759-04:00Dr. Frick well put.

The question is why can't we get health care visits and preventive care as well as follow up care right? It is a sad situation when the physician or staff do not know or remember you? Let's see will informatics improve this endeavor? It has to be the right system and be able to function, not like our hospital where they upgraded the information systems and my computer crashes at least 5 times a day. Love the blog.
