How EMR Portability will change and improve healthcare

Here is an example to better understand the impact of Nexalta in the everyday life of an ordinary person.
Michael has been diagnosed with rosacea; in August Michael makes a follow-up appointment with his dermatologist for October.
In September Michael caught a bad gastroenteritis, his general practitioner also performed comprehensive blood tests. Michael recovers quickly after a week. He agrees with his doctor that he will come by to pick up his tests, some liver values are a bit out of range he says, so he also wants to ask him some questions. The doctor cannot send him the report by e-mail because of strict German and European data protection laws, he does not want to take unnecessary risks, and he prefers the human relationship with his patients.
October comes and the new appointment with the dermatologist, who has to decide whether or not to change the therapy set.
When asked if by chance he has any recent blood analyses …

… without Nexalta: Michael says that yes, he would have them, but he did not have time to collect them, and – as he well knows – his doctor avoids sending them by e-mail, so it is not that simple. Result: two hours lost, and a new appointment is scheduled for… December.

… with Nexalta: Michael says that yes, of course he has recent analyses; just a second. Michael launches the app on his mobile phone, goes to the Share Records menu, one click, his doctor’s SmartGateway connects to his dermatologist’s SmartGateway, a couple of seconds and the report arrives, without any risk and without any storage on third party servers. Michael is happy, the doctors are happy, everyone has saved time and become more efficient.
